Arab Leaders Reject Israel Pledge to Annex Palestinian Land

Dale Gavlak

   AMMAN, JORDAN - Arab leaders have reasserted their rejection of any
   attempt by Israel to annex Palestinian land in the aftermath of
   Israel's election. Jordan's King Abdullah II, Egyptian President Abdel
   Fattah el-Sissi and President Barham Saleh of Iraq meeting at the
   United Nations this week say they refuse possible Israel's annexation
   designs on the Jordan Valley and the area north of the Dead Sea. Saudi
   Arabia and the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council likewise have
   condemned any such potential move by Israel.
   Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the only way to ensure
   peace in the region, the leaders of Jordan, Egypt and Iraq say after a
   mini summit they held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
   In a statement they issued, they are also calling on the international
   community to put a stop to Israel's building and expansion of illegal
   settlements, as well as all unilateral measures. These include changing
   the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its Islamic and
   Christian holy sites.
