DAR AL HARB / ISLAM: ARABS SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE "QUARTET" THAT WILL SHOVE ISRAEL UNDER THE BUS

Arabs’ participation in Quartet urged

MADRID: An international meeting in Madrid to celebrate 15 years since a full-blown Middle East conference yesterday acknowledged progress had run into the sand and urged concrete steps to revive it, including Arab participation in the diplomatic Quartet.

Since 2003, the Quartet, comprising the UN, the US, the European Union and Russia, has been backing a road map for peace which calls for the creation of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

However, the plan has stalled and the Spanish chairmanship of this week’s meeting of politicians, diplomats and private individuals - many of whom attended the 1991 conference - said no time should be lost in "creating the political will tragically missing today."

Spanish Foreign Minister and former EU Middle East envoy Miguel Angel Moratinos, who has been lobbying hard for Spain to host another conference, yesterday proposed Arab participation in the Quartet as a step forward.

"The moment has come to open up (the Quartet) to the Arab world," Moratinos told the meeting to mark 15 years since the 1991 conference which laid the foundation for the 1993 Oslo Accords.

A word or warning/caution to the United States of America, it is already too late for Europe:

Genesis 12

1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

Genesis 12: 1-3
