Faisal confirms the talks he had with Pakistani leadership reflect the deep-rooted relations between the two countries 5 Islamabad We are also following closely the Palestinian Israeli negotiations process. In this regard, the Kingdom suggests that the success of these negotiations is subject to the welcoming of Israel of the principles, commitment and deserving of peace in addition to the importance of focusing the negotiations on solving the final stage issues which form the core of the dispute. We also view that the Israeli continual unilateral policies and the provocation in the holy city of Al-Quds, including building and expanding of Jewish settlements, are likely to cause the current peace negotiators collapse and cast skepticism over the possibility of carrying them out over the projected nine months. Finally, I would like to say that our positions are either absolutely in accord or similar as regards the regional issues, including the endeavor to bring about peace in the region.
