US President Bush has promised that the so-called road map for peace between Israel and the Palestinians will be published "soon". Speaking to the media after a meeting with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, he said he was "strongly committed" to implementing his vision for peace in the Middle East. He did not give a specific date for publication. The road map sets out a process that aims to freeze construction of further Jewish settlements, return land occupied since September 2000, and create a Palestinian state by 2005. It was created by an international quartet of the European Union, United Nations, Russia and the United States.
