Moussa: Arab FM to Meet on Israeli Settlement
CAIRO, December 29, 2007 (WAFA) - Arab foreign ministers will hold an emergency meeting soon to discuss Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations and Israeli settlement policy, Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said on Saturday.
"The international momentum does not seem to be affecting the Israeli position and maybe will not, so we will meet to decide what is to be done," Moussa told a news conference.
"It is now clear that the settlements issue will destroy any hope of peace and will break the course of Annapolis."
The call for the meeting came from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Moussa said, adding it will also discuss Lebanon.
"The Lebanese crisis is an Arab responsibility and we are holding talks not only with Lebanese officials but also with others," he said.
