SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - Members of the Quartet of Middle East peace mediators urged Israel Tuesday to ease restrictions on Palestinians ahead of January elections to choose a successor to late President Yasser Arafat.
The group comprising the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations agreed to help the Palestinian Authority pay for the elections, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan told reporters.
Annan was speaking after a high-level meeting of the Quartet in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where they are attending an international conference on Iraq.
