'Paleo Refugee Affairs' supervisors to meet Saturday
2007-07-28
The 78th Conference of Palestinian Refugee Affairs' Supervisors is due to kick off Sunday at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo.

Meanwhile, Assistant Arab League Secretary-General for Palestinian Affairs Ambassador Mohammad Sobeih
Dunno how His Excellency the Assistant Arab League Secretary-General for Palestinian Affairs can stand up straight with such a magisterial title. His business card must be three feet long.
said, in a press statement, that participants in the conference would discuss the "latest developments in issues such as Jerusalem, settlements, the segregation wall, the intifada (uprising), refugees, UNRWA, development and the continued Israeli overflights of Palestinian land.
Not a word about Hamas v Fatah, The Smackdown™, however.
"The delegations taking part in the conference are due to come from the host states including Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon and would submit their respective reports on the subject (of Palestinian refugees)," Sobeih said.

The purpose of the conference is to exchange information on refugee problems and those associated with the Israeli breaches of accords signed with the Arabs. Palestinian Politburo Chief Farouq Al-Qaddoumi has already arrived in Cairo Friday for the conference while Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad is due to fly there Sunday in an official visit during which he would meet with Egyptian top officials.

Meanwhile, a meeting of Arab ministers is due to be held Monday to revive the Arab peace initiative with Israel. The 2002 Arab Initiative was launched by Saudi King Abdallah (then only Crown Prince) during the Beirut Arab Summit. It calls for full recognition of Israel by the Arabs provided the Jewish state withdrew from territories it conquered in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
