“Arab leaders said Wednesday they will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state, blaming it for a lack of progress in the Mideast peace process. ‘We hold Israel entirely responsible for the lack of progress in the peace process and continuing tension in the Middle East,’ the League communique said. ‘We express our absolute and decisive rejection to recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.’... The statement, which came at the end of a two-day summit in Kuwait, also rejected what the Arab League described as the continuation of Jewish settlement building in the West Bank and the ‘Judaization’ of Jerusalem. ... The League's announcement rejects a key demand of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Mideast peace talks.” (“Arab League,” Associated Press, Haaretz.com, Mar. 26, 2014) Comments are closed.
