He has unequivocally endorsed the Quartet's Road Map.

The United States and the three other members of the Quartet - the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations - are planning to convene many of the parties to the Israeli-Arab conflict at a meeting near Washington in November.

But no one should walk away doubting the determination of the US and other members of the Quartet to see this process succeed as quickly as possible.

The Quartet has been dormant since 2000, because any peace process requires negotiations between the parties in conflict.

The first step, revival of the Quartet, has already been taken.

The Quartet remains the most appropriate format, as it combines European ideas and service with UN legitimacy and US leadership.

But, aside from its revival, the Quartet should also widen its mandate to deal not only with the Israeli-Palestinian problem, but also with the Israeli-Syrian and Israeli-Lebanese conflicts.

Currently, the US refusal to negotiate directly with Syria, or to encourage Israel to talk with Syria, prevents such a widening of the Quartet's mandate.

The Quartet should consult with the individual parties and to specify them further.

Meticulous preparation of such a conference is more important than convening it quickly, as initiatives by individual states could undermine the EU's and Quartet's effort.

Naturally, the US, as the most important Quartet member, must participate actively.

The example they famously used was that of a Mozart string quartet, which requires the same number of musicians and instruments in modern times as it did in the nineteenth century.
