Ehud Olmert, the current Israeli prime minister, said this week that Bush's letter gave the Jewish state permission to expand the West Bank settlements that it hopes to retain in a final peace deal, even though Bush's peace plan officially calls for a freeze of Israeli settlements across Palestinian territories on the West Bank. In an interview this week, Sharon's chief of staff, Dov Weissglas, said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reaffirmed this understanding in a secret agreement reached between Israel and the Un

The U.S. and Australia on Monday inked an open skies aviation agreement eliminating restrictions on air travel between the two allies that would lead to lower fares, officials said.Visiting Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd witnessed the signing of the agreement at the U.S. Department of Transport in Washington, hailing it as a "new era" in trans-Pacific aviation links."Its aim is to make it easier and cheaper for even more people to make the air journey across the Pacific to add more strands to our ties," he said.
Australia and the USA have signed an open-skies agreement, eliminating air travel limits between the two countries. The accord will now allow more US and Australian based carriers to fly on this route, increasing competition and hopefully lead to lower fares. This agreement breaks the long-standing monopoly of the direct route enjoyed by US carrier United Airlines and Australia's Qantas. Officials who signed the agreement said, "Eliminating restrictions on US-Australia air services means lower fares, more convenient service and more opportunity for travellers, commerce and carriers to thrive," Currently an adult fare from Sydney to Los Angeles direct costs between $A2100 and $A2300. United Airlines is generally 3-8% cheaper than Qantas, but it is one of the worst airline
