Israel 'open' to Arab peace plan
Peres sais Israel was open to the Saudi plan, after talks with Mubarak in Egypt
[AFP]
Israel's president has said that his country is open to an Arab peace plan
aimed at bringing an end to hostilities with Arab nations, after holding talks
with Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president.
Shimon Peres said on Thursday that the Jewish state would not rule out
negotiations with Arab countries on the basis of the Saudi–brokered plan.
"We accept the Arab peace initiative in order to bring peace to the entire
region," Peres said in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, after talks with
Mubarak.
He said that while he doesn't accept all of the Saudi plan and it "needs to be
negotiated" further, its spirit is "correct."
"Over the past century there hasn't been any period where reaching peace was
more possible than now. It would be a mistake to miss it," Peres said.
Mubarak openly disagreed with Peres' one-track approach, saying the Saudi
initiative is not "open for negotiations."
Under the terms of the Saudi plan, Israel would get Arab recognition in return
for withdrawing from occupied Arab lands.
Prisoner talks
Israel's apparent openness to the Arab plan is in contrast to it's rejection of
the Saudi project when it was unveiled in the Lebanese capital Beirut in March
2002.
US-baked peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have stalled in recent
weeks, pending the formation of a new Israeli government.
Tzipi Livni, Israel's foreign minister, is trying to set up a coalition
government after Ehud Olmert resigned from the prime ministerial post last
month amid corruption allegations against him.
The Egyptian president has promised that Cairo will boost effort to secure the
release of an Israeli soldier captured in Gaza more than two years ago, Peres
said.
Mubarak "promised me to increase the efforts to release Gilad Shalit that would
affect not only one family but the entire people of the region," Peres said.
"I hope the efforts to bring about his release will be increased and yield
results," he said.
Mubarak "confirmed Egypt's efforts to bringing positions closer that would lead
to the agreement for the release of Shalit and Palestinian prisoners."
Egyptian role
Egyptian mediation between Israel and Hamas, a Palestinian group listed by
Israel and the US as a terrorist group, has been crucial in recent months.
While Israel is looking for Shalit's safe return, Hamas has called for the
release of about 1,400 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
Mubarak said that the Egyptian-brokered prisoner exchange talks had not failed.
"We have not failed ... The Israeli side knows perfectly well what Egypt is
doing in regards to Shalit," he said.
Hamas has had de facto control of Gaza since June 2007, when forces loyal to it
defeated forces loyal to Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president and head of
Fatah.
Israel and Hamas are currently observing a six-month truce brokered by Cairo in
June.
Israel and the Palestinians relaunched peace talks last November at a US-hosted
conference with the goal of reaching a deal by the end of 2008.
However, most analysts believe that a full deal by the end of the year is
highly unlikely.
