Solana: Stage being set for 'comprehensive peace'

Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST Mar. 31, 2007

Developments in the Middle East are pointing toward a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and the Arab world for the first time in decades, the European Union's foreign policy chief said Saturday.

"The Arab League for the first time in many years has assumed the responsibility to be more active in the peace process," Javier Solana said.

"If you put that together with the reaction of (Israeli) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the two things ... are beginning to construct the dynamic that could lead to the settlement of a crisis that has been with us for many years."

Solana, who attended last week's Arab League summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, praised the hosts for assuming a leadership role in reviving a 2002 Arab peace initiative.

"The moment in which we are living is a moment of hope that we may be able to move the process of a comprehensive peace forward," Solana told reporters at the end of a meeting of EU foreign ministers.

I suppose it is theoretically possible that Arab governments are getting nervous enough about a nuclear Iran that they'll finally agree to a real peace.

But I sure wouldn't bet much on it.

It's sad that there are people gullible enough to believe this.

All Israel needs to do is to agree to total disarmament with security to be provided by a Iranian peacekeeping force.

Sure. Solana told the Arabs they could have a piece of Israel and the Arabs insisted on a comprehensive piece. ;)

And Solona continues to be the front runner IMHO for the title of anti-christ. All I need to hear now is that the plan is good for 7 years, and that'll confirm it.

Did the 2002 Arab Peace Plan (in any way) originate with Solana?
