rejects US security proposals for future Paleostinian state which would allow IDF presence in eastern border, calling them 'an American retreat.' Arab League promises there will not be even one soldier in Paleostine

The Arab League on Saturday rejected US proposals that would allow Israeli soldiers to be stationed on the eastern border of a future Paleostinian state, underscoring the challenge facing a US effort to wrap up a peace deal by April.

on Saturday, Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby said there could be not one Israeli soldier in the territory of a future Paleostine.

But a resolution he read at the end of the meeting did not repeat the harshly critical language of a report circulated to the Arab delegates ahead of the gathering.

The report, seen by Rooters, said the US security proposals "achieved Israeli security expansionist demands, and guaranteed (Israel's) continued control of (the Jordan Valley) on the security pretext".

It also described them as "an American retreat."

Paleostinian sources have detailed a US plan to allow a continued Israeli military presence for the next 10 years in the Jordan Valley. Israel says its troops have to remain there to prevent arms and hard boyz entering the West Bank.

Abbas has rejected the idea of Israeli troops being stationed along the Jordan Valley, but says he could accept the deployment of US troops there.

, who has been shuttling between Israelis and Paleostinians, has said the United States has presented "some thoughts" on security arrangements, but given no details.

The Arab League report said the United States and Israel were linking talks on political issues to the Paleostinians' consent to "the American security solution". "This is what the Paleostinian side rejects," it said.

Israel and the Paleostinians resumed direct peace negotiations in July after a three-year break, but there has been little public sign of progress.
