Ramallah - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Tuesday that she believed a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians was still possible this year and urged the two sides to resume suspended talks.

"I still believe that that can be done," Rice said of the chances of reaching a statehood agreement in 2008.

With Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at her side in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Rice added: "We look forward to the resumption of those negotiations as soon as possible."
