Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the U.S. will continue monitoring Israeli compliance with an April pledge to ease restrictions on Palestinian travel throughout the West Bank a promise that Miss Rice indicated the Israelis had yet to fulfill.
Miss Rice made her remarks to reporters on her plane while returning to Washington yesterday from a brief trip to Israel and the West Bank.
"We really have to look more at qualitatively what is the effect," Miss Rice said.
"That means that our monitors get out among the communities, talk to people who are trying to get agricultural products to market, talk to people who are trying to get through checkpoints and really get a sense of how the movement and access are working," she said.
Last month, Israel said it had removed 60 barriers, completing a pledge made earlier to the U.S. to remove at least 50 of hundreds of barriers to Palestinian travel.
The claim was immediately challenged by Palestinians who called for the U.S. to go see for itself whether the action had any substantial effect.

Meanwhile, in Sderot...
“Rice said the U.S. will continue monitoring Israeli”
Ah, but will Rice and the U.S. monitor the terrorists?
Sadly, It has become easier, more expedient to appease our enemies and betray our friends than to fight the common foe.
She is such a disappointment, like her boss.
She won’t be happy until more Jews or any other Israeli citizen is killed by her islamokazi buddies.
She claims to know her Bible but demands the door be opened for terrorists. To try and drive Israel to the table to give up the West Bank, and possibly divide Jerusalem.
She might as well have laid a wreath on terrorist Arafat’s grave along with Carter.
WTH is wrong with Rice and her boss...desparate is a word that comes to mind. They have loss any semblance of rationality, the lame duck admin is a danger to all of us.
