A historic meeting between Israeli and Palestinian leaders ended Wednesday with a vow from both sides to support the road map to peace.

U.S. President George W. Bush said "amazing things" were discussed during the summit, which took place at King Abdullah of Jordan's summer palace.

"I'm the master of low expectations," Bush said. "We accomplished what I hoped we'd accomplish."

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon agreed in principle to the creation of a Palestinian state, said Bush. That includes a pledge to dismantle "unauthorized outposts" in the West Bank.

"We will seek to restore normal Palestinian life, improve the humanitarian situation, rebuild trust and promote progress toward the president's vision," said Sharon.

Speaking of the "suffering of the Jewish people," Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas vowed to end the "armed intifada" against Israelis.

"Our goal is clear and we will implement it firmly and without compromise: a complete end to violence and terrorism," Abbas promised.

Arab leaders endorsed the message, including Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak who said he would do more to counter terror within his own borders and in the region.

Leaders of the largest Palestinian militant group, Hamas, say they are willing to consider a ceasefire, given the right conditions.

But another group, Islamic Jihad, rejected the summit as serving "the interests of Israelis."

Jewish settlers rallied against Sharon, saying they wouldn't abandon their homes. Thousands of settlers gathered in Jerusalem, chanting "No to a Palestinian state."
