#4 Nonetheless, Olmert - who reiterated on Wednesday that there could be no such talks without explicit Palestinian recognition of Israel as the Jewish state - is confident that the Annapolis joint statement of principles, which is still being negotiated between the two sides, will satisfactorily resolve the issue, The Jerusalem Post was told.

#6 "Israel can define itself however it sees fit; and if it wishes to call itself a Jewish state, so be it,"

That may or may not be enough. See what this is about, is the PA giving up the unlimited right of return. Which they will have to do when a final settlement is signed,but they dont want to do until theyve gotten everything else they want, cause its one of their main points of leverage. IOW, its exactly cause they ARE beggars, that they have to make their only chip count. This is all part of the chess game of how specific a statement will come out of Annapolis.
