Middle East process takes shape

BEST FOOT FORWARD Israel is expected to release a number of Palestinian prisoners, while a negotiator asked the US to `say something about' implementation every week

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the Palestinians have made progress in carrying out their obligations, while Israel has done little. Settlement construction continues and the vast majority of the outposts have not been dismantled.

"It seems that the Israelis have not read their obligations," he said.

The Palestinians will ask Rice to give each side a list of its obligations, with a timetable for implementation.

The US should "be the judge, and every week say something about who is implementing," he said.

Israel says the Palestinians haven't done enough to rein in militants who attack Israeli targets.

It also has been cool to the idea of deadlines.
