Jerusalem, Israel - Israel's foreign minister yesterday embraced the U.S.-backed "road map" leading to a Palestinian state in an apparent policy reversal, and conditionally warmed to recent Syrian peace overtures -- more signs of movement on Mideast peace in the post-Yasser Arafat era.

Hamas, meanwhile, cancelled its annual anniversary rally, set for a Gaza City soccer stadium tomorrow.
