Prince Sultan: ‘Israel Should End All Occupation’
2005-09-18
Crown Prince Sultan yesterday demanded Israel withdraw from more occupied Arab territories after its Gaza pullout, indicating there can be no change in the collective Arab stand on Israel unless occupation ends. In an interview with The Associated Press, Prince Sultan said Arabs had reiterated their commitment to a just and lasting peace through the Arab peace plan, initiated by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah and endorsed by Arab leaders in their Beirut summit in 2002. “We have followed the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza very closely,” he said. “This withdrawal should be followed by further withdrawals from the Palestinian and Arab territories occupied since 1967, and lead to the realization of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
What's the incentive, if any?

#6   “This withdrawal should be followed by further withdrawals from the Palestinian and Arab territories occupied since 1967, and lead to the realization of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”

Could we substitute 1948 for 1967

#5  All fair with me as long as the Saudis withdraw from that 40 km-wide zone along the border of Irak they illegally occupied around 1925 as well of the Madinah and Maccah zone they also illegally occupied.

#4  I think the Soddies should vacate from the area around Madinah, which was formerly a Jewish Kingdom. Hah!

#3  Love to see his map to get his definition of "occupied territories". Is it the "river to the sea" map?

Question to other Rantburgers-what is the history of the "occupation" of Jerusalem? I'd like some more facts to deal with.

Thanks.

#2  Israel won this land fair and square from Egypt in the Six Day War in which the Arabs tried to destroy Israel.

Why should they give a centimetre back?

When you fight a war you risk losing territory and that's what happened.

Anyway if you want a return of the land, Israel should return it to Egypt to whom it belonged, not the Palestinians: it was never theirs!

Let them demand that land from Egypt.
