President Bush has said there should be an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, as part of efforts to conclude a peace agreement before he leaves office. Mr Bush also emphasised the need for Palestinians to halt attacks against Israel, outlining what he called the painful concessions both sides would have to make to reach a deal.
Mr Bush stressed that Israel would not have to withdraw from all occupied land and that mutually agreed adjustments to the 1967 borders would be necessary.
