  ARAB DIPLOMACY IN FULL SWING TO STOP AGGRESSION ON PALESTINE
 
  BY MISHAAL AL-SARHEED
  AMMAN, SEPT 18 (KUNA) -- ARAB DIPLOMACY IS ON FULL SWING TO STOP THE
  ISRAELI AGGRESSION ON THE PALESTINIANS AND TO MAKE THE ISSUE A PIVOTAL POINT
  FOR THE SUCCESS OF A US-LED INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST TERRORISM.
  THE ANTI-TERRORISM COALITION WAS A CALL FROM THE U.S. TO THE INTERNATIONAL
  COMMUNITY IN THE WAKE OF LAST TUESDAY'S TERRORIST ATTACKS IN NEW YORK AND
  WASHINGTON.
  WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF ARAB ACTION, THE EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK
  AND JORDANIAN KING ABDALLA II ARE HOLDING A SUMMIT TUESDAY IN SHARM ELSHAIKH.
  ARAB POLITICAL SOURCES HERE TOLD KUNA THAT THE TWO LEADERS WILL CONTINUE
  TALKS TO FOLLOW UP ON THEIR TELEPHONE CONVERSATION YESTERDAY TO ENDORSE A
  UNITED ARAB AND ISLAMIC ACTION THAT FIGHTS FOR THE PALESTINIAN'S RIGHTS WITHIN
  THE FRAMEWORK OF THE INTERNATIONAL COALITION.
  KING ABDALLA HAS INFORMED PALESTINIAN NATIONAL AUTHORITY LEADER, YASSER
  ARAFAT ABOUT HIS TALKS WITH U.S. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH WHO WILL MEET WITH
  THE KING IN WASHINGTON LATER THIS MONTH.
  KING ABDALLA ALSO CONTACTED BRITISH PREMIER, TONY BLAIR AND OTHER EUROPEAN
  LEADERS.
  KING ABDALLA URGED WESTERN LEADERS TO PUT AN END TO THE VIOLENCE IN THE
  PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES AT A TIME WHEN INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS ARE UNITING TO
  FIGHT TERRORISM IN ALL ITS KINDS.
  THE SOURCES SAID "THE JORDANIAN-EGYPTIAN SUMMIT AND OTHER AWAITED ARAB
  CONTACTS AIM TO DRAW A UNITED ARAB AND ISLAMIC STANCE THAT WOULD CONSIDER
  ACTIONS TO STOP ISRAELI VIOLENCE ON PALESTINIANS, A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR FOR THE
  SUCCESS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ANTI-TERRORISM COALITION."
  THE COALITION MUST GUARANTEES OPPOSITION TO ALL KINDS OF TERRORISM WITH NO
  EXCEPTIONS NOR DISTINCTION, THEY ADDED.
  ACCORDING TO THE SOURCES, THE ARAB GROUP AIMS TO BUILD AN INTERNATIONAL
  COALITION ON THE BASIS THAT THE U.S. RULES OUT ITS UNDERSTANDING WHICH MIXED
  AND DOES NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN TERRORISM AND NATIONAL RESISTANCE.
  WHAT THE SOURCES SAID EXPLAINS THE REJECTION OF ISRAELI PREMIER, ARIEL
  SHARON TO WASHINGTON'S CALL TO JOIN THE COALITION. (MORE)
