"No question, this is a hard challenge. But nevertheless, people must recognise that we have made a good deal of progress and a lot of it has to do with your leadership and I thank you. I was pleased to note that the UN (United Nations) Security Council passed a resolution which confirms that the bilateral negotiation process is irreversible, and it's a path to a Palestinian state and a path to peace in the Middle East."

STORYLINE
US President George W. Bush says the US-backed Middle East peace process has yielded "a good deal of progress," even as the Palestinians and Israelis are headed toward the end of the year with no deal in place.
Bush spoke on Friday alongside Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who responded in kind by heaping praise on Bush for his role in pushing the peace talks.
The US president said: "No question, this is a hard challenge. But nevertheless, people must recognise that we have made a good deal of progress."
Abbas said there is no doubt that Palestinians will stick with the peace process, and he expressed optimism about working with Barack Obama's administration.
