Palestinians like Abdullah remarks
Palestinians welcomed remarks by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in which he said he had nearly given a speech favoring Arab ties with Israel if it withdrew from occupied lands. "This is the most important offer that's been made by the Arab world for decades," senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said. "Prince Abdullah's offer is a very significant development that should be considered very seriously by the United States and Israel. (They) must not waste this historic opportunity."
Palestinian President Yasser Arafat welcomed the prince's remarks as "important" and said they could contribute to reaching a just and lasting peace and ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on Israeli-occupied lands.
Even if the Israelis buy it, Yasser will find a way to screw it up.
