Arabs to introduce plan calling for Palestinian state
With a new round of Mideast diplomacy opening this week, Arab nations will introduce a plan calling for international recognition of a Palestinian state, followed by a two-year period to work out the final borders. Took Bush's suggestion and reworked it to their own advantage, did they? The talks that open Tuesday in New York are an attempt to revive Mideast peacemaking, and will include diplomats from the United States, the United Nations, Europe, and Russia, along with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. They going to try and set the peace processor on "puree"... The Arab plan, worked out in conjunction with the Palestinians, calls for Palestinian elections for a new leader and parliament in January as part of a broader reform effort. Is the "new leader" going to be Yasser? Or are they going to put him in a nursing home? If he's in a nursing home things might look different... Shortly after the balloting, the Palestinians would seek United Nations recognition for a state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Mideast war. Oh? Is that a hook? But the bait looks so yummy... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-07-15 |
