Arab League Urges Serious Discussion on Middle East Peace | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 10.06.2008
As EU and US leaders meet this week in Slovenia, Arab League chief Amr Mussa urged them to talk seriously about peace in the Middle East.

"I trust there will be a serious discussion about the prospects of peace in the Middle East, and on whether it will be possible as promised to have a Palestinian state by the end of the year," Mussa told a news conference in Ljubljana Monday.

Slovenia, which currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, hosted Mussa on a two-day visit just ahead of the EU-US summit to be held Tuesday.

"We hope... there will be a viable real state by the end of the year," he said. "This is a question that should be addressed to him (President Bush), an appeal that should be expressed."

 

Initial reports, however, suggest that the question of a Middle East peace agreement is not on the table at this conference.

You cna't have peace in the Middle East. If you don't have get rid of the settlers there will be no peace, and you won't get rid of the settlers without viollence.

Israel finds it easier to have perpetual war against palestinians than to have a civil war with the settlers. So, no peace, not now, not ever.
