Jordan accuses Israel of inflaming Arab anger in peace talks
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 12 - 02 - 2011

Awwal 09, 1432 H/Feb 12, 2011, SPA -- Jordanian leaders on Saturday told US Assistant
Secretary of State William Burns that Israel's obstinacy in peace
talks with the Palestinians would only aggravate Arab anger, Jordan's
premier Marouf Bakhit said, according to dpa.
Burns met with Bakhit, King Abdullah II and Foreign Minister
Nasser Judeh to discuss ways of breaking the deadlock in the Middle
East peace process.
According to Bakhit, they also discussed the latest developments
in the region, a reference to the Egyptian uprising that led to the
resignation of pro-West president Hosny Mubarak on Friday.
"Israel should give up its fortress mentality and stop all
unilateral actions particularly the building of settlements," Bakhit
told Burns, according to a statement from the prime minister's
office.
"Israel should look forward to the future and realize that justice
and the dignity of peoples are an indispensable issue and that the
continued deadlock in the peace process will only enhance the anger
of peoples in the region as a result of their feeling of an imbalance
in the criteria of justice," said Bakhit, a former ambassador to
Israel.
The Palestinian Authority withdrew from the US-brokered direct
talks with Israel at the end of September after the Israeli
government failed to extend a partial freeze on the building of
settlements in Palestinian East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Bakhit formed his cabinet earlier this week after King Abdullah
sacked the government of former premier Samir Rifai. His firing
followed a series of protests that swept the country, inspired by the
uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
Bakhit had told the American envoy that his government had taken
note of regional changes and "was taking measures to speed up
political and economic reforms" and take serious steps to fight
corruption.
King Abdullah also held a separate meeting on Saturday with the
Russian Middle East envoy Alexander Sultanov.
