Arab foreign ministers agree to relaunch Mideast peace plan




Arab foreign ministers on Thursday agreed to relaunch the Arab peace initiative in its current form, despite earlier suggestions by the Syrian minister that the initiative could be rethought.

 

"We agreed on maintaining the Arab peace initiative and there is no intention on the ministers' part to amend it," Mohammed Sobeih, Arab League assistant secretary general for Palestinian affairs, told reporters. "It was also agreed that the initiative will be relaunched to the international community in order to stress Arab concern for finding a solution to the Arab Israeli conflict," Sobeih said. (AFP)
