Arab League chief stresses need for comprehensive solution to the ME question

The secretary general of the Arab League Amr Moussa has stressed the unwavering Arab position towards reaching a just and comprehensive peace to the Middle East question based on the items of the Arab peace initiative approved during the recent Arab summit conference held in Beirut.

In statements he made in Cairo on Thursday, Moussa stressed that Israel's complete withdrawal from Jerusalem, the Golan and all occupied Arab territories until June 4, 1967 border lines and the parts of south Lebanon that are still under the Israeli occupation and the right of return of the Palestinian refugees to their lands are the base for the Arab peace initiative. He strongly rejected attempts made to undermine these Arab rights concerning the requirements of just and comprehensive peace.

Moussa indicated the importance of the next meeting of the Arab follow up committee concerned to implement the resolutions of the recent Arab summit conference in Beirut of taking an effective Arab position that copes with the volume of challenges the Arabs are exposed to.

The AL chief criticized the US administration bias position to Israel.
