Arab ministers blame Israel for peace talks 'crisis'

[Al Ahram] An Arab ministerial committee charged with monitoring the Middle East grinding of the peace processor blamed Israel for the impasse in negotiations with the Paleostinians after a Tuesday meeting in Kuwait.

"Israel is responsible for the deep crisis in negotiations because of its intensifying of settlements (construction), repeated attacks against the sacred Al-Aqsa mosque (in Jerusalem), seizing of Paleostinian lands, and strengthening the blockade against Gazoo," it said in a statement.

The committee, which is chaired by Qatar and includes 13 Arab countries, met in Kuwait on the sidelines of the Arab-African summit in the presence of Paleostinian leader the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

The latest peace talks, launched at Washington's urging in July, have shown little sign of progress, with the Paleostinians objecting to repeated Israeli announcements of new settlement construction on occupied territory.

A major spike in settlement announcements last week prompted the resignation of the entire Paleostinian negotiating team.

But on Sunday Abbas told AFP that peace talks with Israel would continue for the full nine months agreed with Washington -- "regardless of what happens on the ground."

#2 ...or labeled more accurately as 'Piece Talks' since they want the big piece of land between the Jordan river and the Med.

#3 It is always Israel's fault. Some negotiators. All they want is Israel off the map. Not negotiable with Israel.
