Special Envoy Mitchell (Dec. 14): "There have been many difficulties obstacles and setbacks along the way that has been the case throughout the history of this conflict and this region. We accept it, but we are determined to persevere in our efforts until we reach the successful conclusion that I think all want; an independent, viable state of Palestine in which its people have the dignity of freedom and self determination, living side by side in peace with Israel."
