Speaking to the Israeli Cabinet, Olmert told ministers that such a move would see Israeli fulfill its road map obligations.

"It is impossible to repeat that the road map is a strategic asset for Israel and at the same time to ignore our obligations ... let us admit to ourselves: We committed not to built new settlements ... we promised not to expropriate land ... We promised to raze illegal outposts ... We will not deviate from our principles, and we will fulfill all of our obligations," the Israeli PM stated.

Olmert's comments came hours before the Israeli PM was due to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
