Moussa calls for abiding by 2005 as a year for the Palestinian state

The secretary general of the Arab League Amr Moussa yesterday called on the US President George W. Bush to abide by the date which was set in the Roadmap for the foundation of the Palestinian state which is year 2005.

Moussa said commenting on Bush's call to found a Palestinian state after four years "we do hope that concentration on the basic date proposed by Bush earlier for founding the Palestinian state." Last Friday, Bush announced that " it is possible" to establish an independent Palestinian state by the fall of the end of his second term of office in 2009.
