US formally Presents Israel and the PA with the Road Map, 2003
Event | On this day in 2003, the US administration under President George W. Bush presented the "Road Map" to Palestinians and Israelis. It consisted of three phases ending in 2005 with the establishment of a Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority approved it, while Ariel Sharon's government responded with numerous reservations and circumvented the road map by proposing a "disengagement" plan from the Gaza Strip.
