ISRAEL'S Prime Minister today moved forward the prospect of lasting peace in Gaza by offering wide-ranging peace concessions to the Palestinians if they turned away from violence.
In a major policy speech, Ehud Olmert said he was reaching out to the Palestinians for peace after five months of bloodshed that has followed the capture of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit by Hamas on June 25.
He announced that he was prepared to reduce checkpoints, release frozen funds and free prisoners in exchange for the release of Corporal Shalit and a serious push for peace.
"I hold out my hand in peace to our Palestinian neighbours in the hope that it won't be returned empty," Mr Olmert said.

The prime minister of Israel doesn't need to make any offer for peace because the offer for peace was already made by the international community the U.N (242)in 1967
And another offer was made by Arab countries to end the state
of war between all the Arab countries & Israel and open up
relations and step by step will lead to normalization and it was introdused by the King of Saudi Arabia ..Israel ignore it
If the Israelis really want to understand the Palestinians,
Then they must go back and read their history with the British before May 14 1948 and they'll see that history is
repeating itself because back then you had Irgun,Haganah and
Lehi even now you have Gush Emunim & Egrof Magen in the
west bank and we all know about Menachem Begin & Yitzhak
Shamir and for everybody's surprise they both became the
prime minister for the state of Israel.
When Barouch Bernstein shoot and kill 29 Palestinoans inside
A the Ibrahimi Mosque is considered a hero fo Israelis???
but when a Pelestinians do something a lot less is terrorist!
There's no justification for anyone to take somebody else's
life no matter what but we must be fair.
