CAIRO, Jan 27 (KUNA) -- Arab countries are considering to convene a meeting
of the Arab peace initiative follow-up committee during the first week of
February to discuss the latest developments of the Palestinian cause, an Arab
League official said Friday.
Mohammad Sabeeh, assistant secretary general for Palestine and occupied
Arab territories, said the committee would continue its support for the
Palestinian cause until Palestine becomes a full UN member.
During the proposed committee meeting, said Palestinian President would
brief the members about their endeavors to win a UN membership.
"The compass is in the right direction and matters are progressing despite
the American position which hampers everything. The Arab and Palestinian side
have done all they can to reach serious negotiations but the obstacle is
always from Israel," he said.
"Obviously the Israeli government does not want the two-state solution but
wants a one state with ethnic cleansing ...," he added. (end)
