Saudi Arabia announces commitment to any Arab stance toward Disney
Saudi Arabia-Regional, Politics, 9/23/1999

Saudi Arabia said it will be committed to any Arab stance toward the Walt Disney Company due to concerns regarding the establishment of a wing for Israel in the Millenium Village exhibition that will be held in Orlando, Florida in the USA.

An official source in Riyadh said Saudi Arabia will abide by what will be agreed upon by the Arab foreign ministers in their meeting that will be convened tomorrow in New York on the margin of the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly.

In statements that were broadcast yesterday in Riyadh, the source added that the Arab League council tackled this case as a unanimous decision that was issued authorizing the AL secretary general to make the necessary communications with the company's officials to guarantee that Israel cannot exploit for political purposes as well as to make sure that the Israeli film that will be displayed regarding Jerusalem does not harm the Palestinian, Arab, Islamic and Christian historical, legal and political rights in the city of Jerusalem.
