Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abdul Gheit
Saturday charged that Israel showed too little willingness to compromise in the
peace process with the Palestinians, dpa
reported.
Despite the hope that rose out of the November 2007 peace summit in
Annapolis, Maryland, for a lasting solution, Israeli opinion and political
leaders had failed to show the necessary will to carry it out, Gheit told the
UN General Assembly in its annual debate.
He demanded an immediate stop of expansion of Israeli settlements in the
Palestinian territories and a withdraw by Israel out of occupied regions.
