Al Riyadh: Moussa: contacts to hold mini-Arab summit
Regional, Politics, 6/7/2003

Arab league Secretary-General Amr Moussa said that contacts are under way to hold a mini-Arab summit to discuss conditions in the region.

In statements to the Saudi newspaper Al Riyadh yesterday, Moussa said that Israel's acceptance of the Roadmap is considered a positive issue, but cast doubts over Israel's intention to achieve the just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

Moussa stressed the importance of implementing all items of the peace initiative, including the right of refugees to return and going back to the 1967 borders stipulated by the Arab initiative rejected by Sharon.

Moussa asked Israel to halt its settlement activities and military aggression on the Palestinian civilians, a matter that cripples peace efforts.

"In order for peace to be comprehensive, pending issues concerning Syria and Lebanon must be settled," Moussa added.
