Palestinian Ambassador: Geneva accord signature postponed for procedural

KUN0066 4 GEN 0207 KUWAIT /KUNA-MYK5 POL-PALESTINIANS-ISRAEL Palestinian Ambassador: Geneva accord signature postponed for procedural reasons GENEVA, Nov 6 (KUNA) -- Palestinian Ambassador designate to Bern Anis Al-Qaq said Thursday that the signing ceremony of the Geneva accord between Palestinians and Israelis has been postponed for procedural reasons. Talking to a select group of reporters, Al-Qaq added that the delay is due to the fact that all sides would like to assemble the greatest possible support for the accord. Al-Qaq, who is due in a few days to present his letter of credential to the Swiss Foreign Ministry in Bern, noted that in addition to former US President Jimmy Crater, two other prominent former leaders would attend the signing ceremony notably former US president Bill Clinton and former South African President Nelson Mandela. He stressed that the Palestinian Authority supports all movements that aim at achieving a jusT and durable peace in the Middle East. "The more the accord is acclaimed by the world community, and well received by the Israeli and Palestinian public, the more the pressure would add on the current Israeli government who has failed to present any new political initiatives," said Al-Qaq.
