Olmert mengatakan pada sidang kabinet Ahad pagi bahwa pemerintahnya  belum menyatakan menerima atau menolak kesepakatan Mekkah, namun menyatakan bahwa kabinet Israel sedang mempelajari isi perjanjian itu secara rinci.
Olmert told a cabinet meeting earlier Sunday that his government neither accepted nor rejected the Mecca deal but said that the Israeli cabinet was studying the details of the agreement.
