A Palestinian child walks near a section of Israel

A Palestinian child walks near a section of Israel`s controversial security barrier in east Jerusalem`s Abu Dis area, January 13, 2005. President-elect Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday the Palestinians intend to start carrying out their commitments under a U.S.-backed `road map` charting a path towards statehood and peace with Israel. The road map calls on Palestinians to end all violence and crack down on militants while Israelis are meant to pull back troops from some areas and freeze settlement growth. REUTERS/Mahfouz Abu Turk
