The visit comes just two weeks before the foreign ministers of the Quartet − the United States, Russia, the European Union and the UN − are to meet. France, Germany and the United Kingdom are pushing for announcing a new international peace initiative. The principles of the initiative known so far include setting up two states on the basis of the 1967 borders with territorial swaps; a fair, realistic and agreed-upon solution to the predicament of the Palestinian refugees; Jerusalem as a capital for both states and security arrangements that would protect Israel but not infringe on Palestinian sovereignty
The U.S. administration has yet to comment on the initiative, but it has already won the support of the UN and, it would seem, Russia.

They are desperately trying to convince the Quartet not to go through with it. The part I don't get is where is it different from the Roadmap? It isn't, so what is going on???? The only thing I can see is that the Roadmap was based on negotations first. But no one except the Israelis believe that can continue. They have a deadline they have to keep.
