(Worthy News) – Arab League Secretary-General Nabil al-Arabi has slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent calls to introduce changes into the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative in order to reinvigorate the Israel-Palestinian peace process.
In an interview with the London-based Arabic-daily a-Sharq al-Awsat on Monday, Arabi cast doubt on Netanyahu’s willingness implement the two-state solution and “end occupation.”
When asked about a French-led Middle East peace summit that took place in Paris on Friday, Arabi defined the initiative as “helpful,” saying it had refocused world attention to the “unpopular” Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [ Source ]
