up in violation of UN resolutions. We strongly condemn such acts and demand that they be stopped. The Arab Peace Initiative launched by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict was universally acclaimed. However, Israel procrastinates, claiming that it lacks partner in the peace process. We have always stated that peace is a strategic option for settling the Middle East conflict. We therefore call on the international community to force Israel to fully comply with the roadmap. We also insist that Israel should abandon its policy over Al Quds, which we consider the major concern of the entire Muslim world. We have been optimistic over the Iraqi National Reconciliation Conference held in Cairo recently which represented a broad spectrum of Iraqi society. We hope that the parliamentary elections will take place in a week's time under satisfactory conditions. We also hope that the series of political events will culminate into stability, security, full sovereignty and total withdrawal of foreign forces. --More 1949 Local Time 1649 GMT
