Arab Foreign Ministers conclude extraordinary meeting

Cairo, May 07, SPA -- Arab Foreign Ministers concluded an
extraordinary meeting held here today at a request of Palestine and
under the chairmanship of Ali Ahmed Karti, Sudan's Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs.

Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, led his country's delegation to the meeting.

The meeting welcomed the U.S. administration's announcement that it
was committed to a two-state solution for the Palestinian Israeli
dispute according to all the agreed upon references of the peace
process.

In a statement following the meeting, the Arab Foreign Ministers
categorically rejected the unilateral Israeli settlement policies
aiming at changing the demography and geography of the occupied
Palestinian territories, including Eastern Al-Quds.

The statement called on the world community for immediate
intervention to halt all Israeli measures in the occupied Palestinian
territories.

It cautioned from the dangers of ignoring those Israeli practices and
violations.

The meeting assigned the Arab group in New York to work for a United
Nations General Assembly's issuance of a resolution assigning the
International court of Justice to take up and issue a rule on the
Israeli breaches of the sacred Eastern Al-Quds.

The meeting called on the Arab financial institutions and funds to
accredit additional financial obligations in support of the
Palestinian peoples steadfast in Al-Quds and the surroundings.

The meeting also decided to form a team of lawyers and legal experts
to study all options to present charging Israeli leaders and
decision-makers with war crimes before the world judiciary.
