Kuwait City – Arab leaders meeting in Kuwait may have ended any prospect for peace. Last week, the Arab League said they will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state, blaming it for a lack of progress in the Mideast peace process.
“We hold Israel entirely responsible for the lack of progress in the peace process and continuing tension in the Middle East,” the communique said. “We express our absolute and decisive rejection to recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.”
Netanyahu has refused to accept the 1967 lines as the basis for talks and says he will never relinquish east Jerusalem — home to the city’s most sensitive holy sites.
