| Arab FMs to get stories straight prior to Annapolis conference |
| 2007-11-13 |
| Arab foreign ministers will meet in the last 10 days of November to hammer out a common Arab stance for the Mideast peace conference the US is arranging to take place in Annapolis, announced Arab League secretary-general Amr Moussa on Monday. Moussa, following his meeting with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas today, said the latter informed him of details of his extensive contacts prior to the peace conference, a statement by the League — attributed to Moussa — said. "We are still working to see that the conference in Annapolis gets underway, " said Moussa adding that " the Arab people want for this conference to occur and to have positive results and to set a time frame for these results to be translated to facts on the ground." The Arab foreign ministers meeting will address these ideas and come up with a common understanding of them prior to Annapolis, he said. Moussa complained that the worsening human situation in the Palestinian territories belied Israel's bad intentions and lack of seriousness vis-a-vis the peace process. Israel, in a display of bad faith, has not as of yet taken any concrete steps toward the implementation of the first stage of the Roadmap for Peace, although it promulgated its acceptance to do so, he said. He noted that Arab negotiators in Annapolis would not discount any reasonable ideas for a permanent peace between Arabs and Israelis, if they were not too far from the spirit of the Arab Peace Initiative. |
