Consensus on Palestinian
issue eludes Arab League meeting in Libya

Sirte
(Libya): Arab leaders failed at their summit on Sunday to
reach a consensus on whether the Palestinians should resume stalled
talks with Israel.
The Arab League scheduled an extraordinary summit for later this
year to tackle issues it had been unable to resolve during its two
days of meetings in the Libyan city of Sirte.
The Palestinians have said indirect talks with the Israelis will not
take place unless Israel cancels a decision to build 1,600 new homes
in a settlement near east Jerusalem, dealing a fresh blow to an
already troubled Middle East peace process.
The Arab League had given its blessing to the Palestinians, before
the Israeli decision was announced, to conduct the so-called
proximity talks with Israel, so the organization’s stance now on
whether those negotiations should still go ahead is potentially
decisive.
After two days of talks in the Libyan town of Sirte, a committee of
foreign ministers from some member states produced a resolution
saying that a halt to all settlement activity was necessary for
Israeli-Palestinian negotiations to go ahead.
But that decision was not adopted by the full summit and, in a sign
of the lack of consensus, Syria’s foreign minister said his country
would not recognize the document as representing the view of the
Arab League.
Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said after the summit ended
that another extraordinary meeting of heads of state would take
place at an unspecified date later in the year to deal with
outstanding issues.
He acknowledged the urgency of taking a collective decision on the
Israeli-Palestinian talks.
“Within the next few weeks we have to decide what to do: Whether to
continue with the negotiations or to completely shift course,” he
told a news conference.
Arab leaders urged US President Barack Obama to keep up his efforts
to halt all Israeli settlement building on Palestinian land, in a
final statement. The leaders stressed “their total rejection of the
settlement policy carried out by Israel in the occupied Palestinian
territories and call on President Obama to uphold his position ...
to completely halt settlements.” Israel’s settlement policy poses “a
dangerous obstacle to a just and comprehensive peace process,” read
the final resolution.
Hamas criticized the summit for failing to go far enough in response
to Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip. “The positions taken by the
Arab summit were not at the level demanded and did not match the
aspirations of the Palestinian people to lift the siege, end their
suffering and protect their holy sites,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi
Barhum said. “Waiting to test the intentions of the occupation is a
waste of time... the summit should have used every means of Arab
pressure to isolate the Zionist occupation.”
In another development, a senior Israeli minister warned on Sunday
that Israel would “liquidate” the Hamas-run government in Gaza, in
the wake of deadly weekend clashes that killed two Israeli soldiers.
“Sooner or later we will liquidate the military regime of the
pro-Iranian Hamas which controls the Gaza Strip,” Finance Minister
Yuval Steinitz, from the governing rightwing Likud party, told
public radio.
“I am not setting a timetable, but we will not tolerate this regime
continuing to strengthen itself militarily and providing itself with
an arsenal of rockets that threaten our territory,” he added.
Barhum said Steinitz’s remarks “reflect the criminal intentions of
the Zionist occupation government and confirm its continuing acts of
state terrorism.
He went on to call for Israel’s “regional and international
isolation and the immediate launch of war crimes trials for its
leaders.”
