Hattar Posted Thursday October 25, 2001 - 11:03:38 AM EDT Amman - His Majesty King Abdullah held talks on Wednesday with Moroccan Prime Minister Abderrahman Youssoufi on means to build a unified Arab stand against terrorism and rein in the Israeli onslaught on the Palestinian territories, a Palace source said. King Abdullah, who received a message from King Mohammad VI, called for "a concerted Arab action on the international arena so as to avoid further deterioration in the security situation towards the point of no return." He also underscored the need for "reviving the peace process on the basis of Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 as well as Palestinian-Israeli binding agreements." The source said the talks also revolved around "the need to arrive at a united Arab stand designed to explain to the rest of the world that Arab states reject any attempts to link terrorism to Arabs or Muslims." Youssoufi said the viewpoints of Jordan and Morocco were "identical as to the need for breaking the cycle of violence in the occupied territories and jumpstarting the peace process." Earlier on Wednesday, the Moroccan premier co-chaired the Higher Joint Jordanian- Moroccan Committee, along with Prime Minister Ali Abul Ragheb. In a keynote addressed charged with political overtones, Abul Ragheb called on the US, the European Union and Russia to launch a "genuine peace initiative with urgency and lay down practical steps that could lead to a just, durable and comprehensive settlement on a solid basis." He was referring to UN pertinent resolutions and the 1991 Madrid Peace Conference which kicked off the Arab-Israeli negotiations on the land-for-peace basis, as enshrined in Security Council resolutions 242 and 338. Abul Ragheb told his guest that King Abdullah's recent diplomatic shuttle across Europe and the US was aimed at seeking an "immediate international move" towards peace and the cessation of "Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people." The Prime Minister said Jordan hails recent US and European stands in support of the Palestinians and in search for calm. As part of a regional swing, a high-powered European delegation headed by EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana arrived in Amman yesterday and is due to hold talks on Wednesday with His Majesty, who heads the rotating Arab summit presidency. (see separate story). Abul Ragheb maintained that security could not prevail in the region unless it was coupled by genuine peace on the basis of "Israeli withdrawal from all Arab lands it occupied in 1967 including (East) Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights and the rest of south Lebanon including Shabaa farms." On another front, Abul Ragheb reiterated Jordan's call for lifting the 11-year-old crippling sanctions on Iraq and safeguarding its territorial integrity, sovereignty and stability. The Moroccan premier had flown to Amman on Tuesday from Damascus where he held talks on Monday with Syrian President Bashar Assad on the latest developments on the Arab and international scenes.
