FORCE POLICY IS OF NO USE AS CONCERNING IRAQ AND PALESTINE

Arab League secretary Amr Moussa called the USA for adoption of Saudi’s Mideast settlement plan and confirmed the Arab nations’ opinion that an offensive in Iraq would spoil the situation in the region. Moussa in the interview to Corriere della Sera, Italian newspaper, said he believed “the Arab summit in Beirut would develop a distinct suggestion”.

The Arab League secretary also touched upon the Palestine-Israeli conflict and said, Ariel Sharon would not be able to improve the situation independently, as his force policy had turned out to be a failure.

Amr Moussa thinks, “if a Palestinian state with the capital in Eastern Jerusalem is created, and refugee problem is discussed, the rest problems will be easily settled as well.” Yasser Arafat’s participation is essential for the talks.
