Faisal participates in Quartet meeting', please read the third paragraph as follows:" 'We are discussing the same points we have been discussing for a long time and we are reaching the same outcomes we reached before, he said adding that no tangible results were reached despite the efforts exerted by the United States of America and the Quartet. Here is the story again: New York, Dec 16, SPA -- Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Foreign Minister, said at the meeting of the Quartet, held last night at United Nations Headquarters, that the peace process in the Middle East did not yield tangible results in the last year. "We must recognize the fact that peace will not be attained through holding fruitless meetings and negotiations while ignoring the core of the conflict." he said. " We are discussing the same points we have been discussing for a long time and we are reaching the same outcomes we reached before, he said adding that no tangible results were reached despite the efforts exerted by the United States of America and the Quartet. Prince Saud Al-Faisal noted that Israel has been going ahead on its policy of building settlements in East (Al-Quds) Jerusalem, and that makes it difficult for any Palestinian government to convince the Palestinians with the benefits of the peace. He emphasized that the meeting comes at a transitional period, and it is important to pave the way for a serious future action for reaching peace and changing the public opinion in the Arab and Muslim worlds which believe that there is no serious determination from the side of the international community in this respect. The fact that the peace process in the Middle East lacks action will only increase the attractiveness of the extremist ideologies, he said. In a statement to the pressmen after his meeting with the quartet, Prince Saud said there are some good things in the draft resolution. He expressed satisfaction because the Security Council will continue its participation in the process.
