Arab FMs to Hold Emergency Meeting on Mideast Situation

Foreign ministers of an Arab follow-up committee will hold an emergency meeting at the headquarters of the Cairo-based Arab League (AL) on Wednesday to discuss the latest Mideast tensions.

The ministers will exchange view on the recent developments in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israeli aggressive policies, Egypt's state-run MENA news agency reported on Monday.

The meeting will come at the request of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat amid escalating Israeli aggressions against the Palestinians, including demolition of the Palestinian houses, seizure of their lands and other "hostile" practices against Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem, MENA said.

The Arab follow-up committee, set up at the emergency Arab summit in Cairo last October, deals with the implementation of resolutions adopted at the summit, in which Arab leaders pledged to provide moral and financial aid to the Palestinian uprising.

It is made up of foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian National Authority, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Tunisia, as well as Arab League chief Amr Moussa.กก

The Mideast region has been rocked by continued Palestinian- Israeli violence since last September, in which over 700 people, most of them Palestinians, have been killed.
