Israel 'must draw permanent borders' - Olmert

Israel’s next parliament must determine the country’s permanent borders, said acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, setting a four-year time frame for drawing the line between Israel and the West Bank.

Olmert was speaking yesterday at a special session marking the anniversary of the founding of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament. He did not say how the borders would be drawn, leaving open the option of unilateral Israeli action.
