September 27, 2006Spain floats idea of new Madrid peace summit (Reuters)

CAIRO (Reuters) - Spain has floated the idea of a secondMiddle East peace summit along the lines of the Madridconference which opened the way to direct peace talks between Israel and its neighbors in 1991. Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, who servedas the European UnionEuropean Union’s Middle East envoy until 2003, said inan article published on Wednesday that the quartet of Middle East mediators might also be expanded to include new countries.

Perhaps it would be timely for all the interested partiesto meet again, at the same level as in 1991, to reaffirm theircommitment to a comprehensive solution and to the basicprinciples on which that should be based,he said in thearticle in the Arabic-language newspaper al-Hayat.The Madrid peace conference of 1991 brought together former U.S. President George Bush, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev,Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and foreign ministersfrom Jordan, Syria,Lebanon and Egypt.

The conference was based on the principle that Israelshould give up occupied land in return for peace with its Arabneighbors, as had already happened between Israel and Egypt.It led to a peace treaty between Israel and Jordan in 1994and a series of high-level talks between Israel and Syria,which came close to an agreement in 2000.Moratinos said the war between Israel and the Lebaneseguerrilla group Hizbollah this summer showed the futility ofseeking military solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict or oftrying to impose solutions unilaterally.

At this stage the important thing is not to invent newsolutions but to have the courage, the historic generosity andthe political will to apply the formulas … which have alreadybeen examined to a very large extent in the course of previousnegotiations, such as Camp David and Taba, he added.At Camp David in 2000 and at the Red Sea resort of Taba inearly 2001, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators came close toagreement on the borders of a Palestinian state.

Subsequent Israeli governments stepped back from theproposals then on offer and have preferred to try unilateralsolutions, such as building a barrier through the West Bank and with drawing from the Gaza Strip without a formal agreement.On the Quartet, which comprises the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, Moratinos said:(It) could incorporate the added value of some countries whichare key to the region.The European Union and the Arab League, seeing anopportunity after the Lebanon war, have floated several proposals for reviving Middle East peace negotiations.The Arab countries tried this month to
persuade the U.N.Security Council to initiate a process but the United States,Israel’s ally, prevented the council from making a statement.
