âYassin Murder Demolishes Peace Processâ
Jordanian Prime Minister Faisal Fayez warned yesterday that the killing of Hamasâ leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was tantamount to âa demolitionâ of the peace process, and said the solution for the regionâs problems lay in âIsraelâs evacuationâ of Palestinian and other Arab territories.

âYassinâs assassination represents a demolition of the process whereby peoples of the region yearn to achieve just and durable peace,â Fayez told the lower house of Parliament. âIsraelâs continuation of the policy of assassinations, repressions and destruction of Palestiniansâ homes will only fuel the cycle of violence and bloodshed,â he said. âWe believe the solution for the crises Israel is creating lies in the evacuation of all Palestinian and Arab land and recognition of the Palestinian peopleâs right to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital,â he added. Fayez pointed out that the Jordanian government was âestablishing contacts with Arab and friendly countries to evaluate the implications of this ugly crime and other Israeli crimes. We intend to continue our moves at various international forums with a view to ensuring an end to the Israeli violations and occupation of Palestinian lands and securing international protection for the Palestinian people,â he said. Fayezâs remarks coincided with a UN Security Council session called by Arab countries in order to seek international condemnation of the Israeli action and press for a UN peacekeeping force to be sent to the Palestinian territories. Amman-based Arab diplomats believed the move would be unproductive in the light of reported US insistence to veto any draft resolution blaming the Jewish state.
| He might as well have farted that statement. There is no peace process. Every time somebody tries to start one, Hamas blows up another bus. The genuine "peace process" at the moment involves beheading Hamas. When they're out of business, then there's something to talk about. |
