But I feel that this is only the beginning, Mother, just an interim phase for me.

An international conference would take place early next month, with negotiations beginning one month later on an interim phase of limited self-administration for Palestinians.

Under the plan, the officials added, whatever final status is negotiated will not take effect until three years after the interim phase begins.

The final talks would last one year, officials said, and whatever solution they produced would take effect three years after the interim phase began.

Super Loop began operations in an interim phase in mid-2009.

That is to forget about the interim phase under Oslo and go right to the final-status talks.

They include talks on an interim phase of Palestinian self-administration to be guided by a group elected by the territories' residents.

Then, negotiations on the final status of the territories would begin in December, and the interim phase would not be carried out until these talks started.

The interim phase began in July, and covers only modifications to voting systems.

Moreover, this interim phase creates far too many insecurities.
