“Islamic Bloc Cool to Obama’s Proposed ‘57-State Solution’”
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor

SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) – Days before President Barack Obama delivers a much-anticipated speech to the Muslim world, Islamic nations have set the conditions on which they would agree to any U.S. plan to offer Israel recognition as part of a Mideast peace deal.

Jordan’s King Abdullah has disclosed that Obama is interested in a “57-state solution” – offering Israel ties with the Islamic world in return for a peace deal.

Foreign ministers from the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), meeting in Damascus, said in a declaration that Islamic governments would not reward Israel for its “crimes.”

“Any development in relations – if any exist at all – [must be] tied to the concrete expression of Israel’s commitment to just and comprehensive peace, which would guarantee the restoration of legitimate national rights and withdrawal from the occupied lands in Palestine, Golan, and southern Lebanon,” it said.

Obama is due to speak on June 4 in Cairo, where he is expected to lay out his vision for the road ahead in Mideast peace efforts.”
