Monotheist intellectuals back establishment of Palestinian state

A hundred intellectuals from the three monotheist religions, settled in Morocco, said they back the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

The 107 Muslim, Christian and Jewish intellectuals said in a release that they support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination with a view to establishing an independent state in accordance with the international legitimacy.

The intellectuals, including professors, searchers, actors and physicians, called on Israel to apply the land for peace principle.

They also underlined that "Jerusalem and Al-Quds" should be the capital cities of the two sovereign states."

"For us, peace is the sole option likely to help the people of the region aspire to development," the intellectuals said, MAP reported.

They said they are shocked by the attitude of the USA, judge and party, and called on the new US elected president to adopt a more balanced and fair position in the Middle East issue.
