Jordan's King Urges Unified Arab Stand In Face Of Israeli Aggression

Amman - His Majesty King Abdullah held talks on Wednesday with
Moroccan Prime Minister Abderrahman Youssoufi on means to build a
unified Arab stand against terrorism and rein in the Israeli
onslaught on the Palestinian territories, a Palace source said.
King Abdullah, who received a message from King Mohammad VI, called
for "a concerted Arab action on the international arena so as to
avoid further deterioration in the security situation towards the
point of no return." He also underscored the need for "reviving the
peace process on the basis of Security Council resolutions 242 and
338 as well as Palestinian-Israeli binding agreements." The source
said the talks also revolved around "the need to arrive at a united
Arab stand designed to explain to the rest of the world that Arab
states reject any attempts to link terrorism to Arabs or Muslims."
Youssoufi said the viewpoints of Jordan and Morocco were "identical
as to the need for breaking the cycle of violence in the occupied
territories and jumpstarting the peace process." Earlier on
Wednesday, the Moroccan premier co-chaired the Higher Joint Jordanian-
Moroccan Committee, along with Prime Minister Ali Abul Ragheb.
In a keynote addressed charged with political overtones, Abul Ragheb
called on the US, the European Union and Russia to launch a "genuine
peace initiative with urgency and lay down practical steps that could
lead to a just, durable and comprehensive settlement on a solid
basis." He was referring to UN pertinent resolutions and the 1991
Madrid Peace Conference which kicked off the Arab-Israeli
negotiations on the land-for-peace basis, as enshrined in Security
Council resolutions 242 and 338.
Abul Ragheb told his guest that King Abdullah's recent diplomatic
shuttle across Europe and the US was aimed at seeking an "immediate
international move" towards peace and the cessation of "Israeli
aggression on the Palestinian people." The Prime Minister said Jordan
hails recent US and European stands in support of the Palestinians
and in search for calm.
As part of a regional swing, a high-powered European delegation
headed by EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana arrived in Amman
yesterday and is due to hold talks on Wednesday with His Majesty, who
heads the rotating Arab summit presidency. (see separate story).
Abul Ragheb maintained that security could not prevail in the region
unless it was coupled by genuine peace on the basis of "Israeli
withdrawal from all Arab lands it occupied in 1967 including (East)
Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights and the rest of south Lebanon
including Shabaa farms." On another front, Abul Ragheb reiterated
Jordan's call for lifting the 11-year-old crippling sanctions on Iraq
and safeguarding its territorial integrity, sovereignty and
stability.
The Moroccan premier had flown to Amman on Tuesday from Damascus
where he held talks on Monday with Syrian President Bashar Assad on
the latest developments on the Arab and international scenes. He also
visited Lebanon.
