Fatah calls for international peace conference to end Mideast crisis
The Central Committee of Palestinian Fatah movement on Tuesday called for an international peace conference focuses on ending the Middle East violence, especially the Israeli offensive into the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. In a statement issued by the committee, the Fatah movement demanded the conference to be held according to the Arab peace initiative which was adopted in the Arab League's Beirut summit in 2002, and the Internationally-backed roadmap peace plan.
The Arab peace initiative forms a true basis to revive the peace process and stop the Israeli policy which insists on occupation, settlement and annexing Palestinian and Arab land, said the statement. It also called for immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon and urged the Israeli army to withdraw from the two territories. Israel launched two separated military operations into Gaza Strip and Lebanon after Palestinian militant groups and Lebanese Hizbollah captured three Israeli soldiers in two unlinked raids.
Calling on Arab leaders to move quickly and face the Israeli aggression, the statement held the international community, UN Security Council and the Middle East Quarter responsible for the deterioration of the peace process. (Source: Xinhua)
