Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ-backed ‘Quartet’ hopes new Palestinian government leads to renewed engagement<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

15 November 2006 <\/i>– <\/i>Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and its key international partners in the Middle East peace process today expressed hope that a new Palestinian Government of National Unity would take steps to open the way for renewed engagement by the international community. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The so-called diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East, comprising the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, European Union (EU), Russia and the United States, conferred in Cairo in what Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Alvaro de Soto termed a “good” working-level meeting. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Quartet, seeking a two-State solution, has frozen contacts, and donors have withheld contributions, pending a commitment by the Hamas Government to renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept agreements already signed between Israel and the Palestinians. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Quartet today reiterated a statement it made after a top-level meeting in September, welcoming Palestinian efforts to form a unity government in the hope that the platform of such a Government would reflect these principles and allow for early engagement, Mr. de Soto said. These include a commitment to non-violence and recognition of Israel’s right to exist. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

He also hoped that such a Government could help to reduce the sort of Palestinian rocket attacks into Israel which today “tragically claimed” one Israeli life in the town of Sderot. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Quartet discussed the security situation in the area where Israel’s shelling of the occupied Gaza Strip killed 19 Palestinian civilians, including eight children and seven women. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

While in Cairo, Mr. de Soto intends to meet with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit and with Amre Moussa, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
