Which did not launch the "road map" plan in 2003? [originaltext] Tuesday’s M

Tuesday’s Middle East conference in Annapolis, Maryland, put Israelis and Palestinians back on the road map to peace. Now the question is how far will they get?
     The "road map" is the name for a plan that is supposed to lead to a permanent, two-state solution to the conflict.  The Quartet of the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations launched the plan in two thousand three. The plan did not go far.
     But this week Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert agreed to immediately restart negotiations. They promise to seek a peace treaty that furthers the goal of an independent Palestine.
     The two sides have not held serious negotiations in seven years. A committee that will guide the talks will hold its first meeting December twelfth. The aim is to reach an agreement by the end of next year.
     Many Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and Syria, attended the international conference held by the United States. Iran was not invited.
