Does the US support the Palestinian position?

Palestinians have been insisting on a peace settlement that would deny Israeli national rights in East Jerusalem. According to an Al Quds report, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice gave Palestinians to understand that she supports this position. A great deal may have been lost in translation, but the report certainly deserves a followup. It is likely that the report meant to say less than it said, and that Ms Rice also meant to say, or really did say, less than she is quoted as saying.

 

According to the [slightly edited]  google translation of the report in Al Quds, Jerusalem: 

 

Jerusalem - A high-level Palestinian source in the Palestinian Presidential Office told Al Quds that the American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice touched for the first time during talks yesterday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah ono [evidently "on] the need to establish a Palestinian state on the borders of June 67.

The source said that "Rice touched for the first time during her meeting with the two sides to the issue of borders in June 1967, including the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley and parts of the Dead Sea." [Sounds like the Palestinian position]

The source added that "this is a kind of development and clear [clarification?] by the U.S. administration about the peace process between Palestinians and Israelis."

He explained that Rice urged the parties to hold meetings daily and intensive secret between them to reach a formula acceptable to both parties, and that it will pursue every course of meetings to be held between Palestinian and Israeli sides.

The source confirmed that Rice asked the two sides to agreed [agree]  with each other to make limited adjustments on [should be "to'" the 67 borders and requested action on the issue of Jerusalem [ambiguous statement about Jerusalem] and to reach understandings with respect religious sites and also the security and administrative arrangements concerning the relationship between the two parts of the city east and west.[assumed control of East Jerusalem by Palestinians evidently].

....

It was the official spokesman for the Palestinian presidency Nabil Abu Rudeineh who revealed that Rice had raised "new ideas" concerning the peace process during her meeting with Abbas in Ramallah yesterday. [was Abu Rudeineh also the mysterious 'source'?]
