Road map for peace
The term roadmap (English road map for " road map ", " route plan", "schedule" ) is figuratively used for calling a political action plan.
After 2000, the term roadmap was used mainly for the so-called Middle East Quartet (UN, U.S., EU and Russia) drafted peace plan with the aim of resolving the Middle East conflict. The principles of the peace plan presented by the then U.S. President George W. Bush in a speech on 24 June 2002, in which he called for a peaceful coexistence between Israel and an independent Palestinian state. My schedule was not adhered to. The roadmap itself was drawn up on the edge of an international conference and published in September 2002. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has offered through his so-called convergence plan the Palestinians to accept to commit the course of the time beyond the Green Line built on Palestinian land border fence a Palestinian state. The Palestinians have not agreed to this solution.
Concept
The Palestinians will be granted an independent state. In return, however, called for a "democratic" reform of the Palestinian authorities and a move away from terrorism. Israel is intended to recognize and support the founding of the state and withdraw from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, once the " terrorist threat " is finished.
Process
As a prerequisite for the formal handover of the roadmap should be a first step towards the "democratization" of the Palestinian authorities are made on the Palestinian side with the establishment of the Office of the Prime Minister. Following the appointment of Mahmoud Abbas, the plan the parties to the conflict was finally passed on 30 April 2003. He is endorsed by the Security Council Resolution 1515 of the United Nations.

Current Situation
On 4 January 2008, Ehud Olmert announced that the current settlement of Israel is contrary to the promises of Israel. At the same time Israeli politicians variously reported out elementary vertices of the roadmap would not be respected by the Palestinian side. This included the recognition of Israel's right as well as the rejection of terrorism. Both would not be implemented mainly by the radical Islamic group Hamas, because they reject the existence of Israel unchanged and openly confess to terror against Israeli civilians.
In September 2012, the evacuation of the Migron outpost made headlines. The legal battle had lasted six years.
