CAIRO, Feb 12 (KUNA) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Abul-Gheit said on
Thursday that the peace process is in need of a serious Israeli partner.
Abul-Gheit added in statements to the press, in his first comments on the
Israeli elections' results, that the current situation in the region requires
awareness that peace and stability will not be achieved unless all
international resolutions are implemented and the establishment of an
independent Palestinian state.
He added that the next Israeli government should take serious steps in
cooperating with Egypt, the Palestinian Authority and the international
community to achieve peace in the region.
Abul-Gheit clarified that the immediate halt of Israeli aggression,
decreasing the number of checkpoints and barriers could open the door for
negotiations between the two sides. (end)
