Peace in the Middle East takes center stage at United Nations
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Saudi Arabia, the Arab League and the Palestinian president urged the UN Security Council on Friday to save the faltering Middle East peace process by demanding an end to Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory.
The debate came on the same day that the key international players trying to promote peace in the Middle East are meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The so-called Quartet - the UN, the US, the European Union and Russia - is meeting during a difficult period in the region.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reminded the council Friday that "just one year ago, there was no peace process," and noted that Israel and the Palestinians continue their negotiations, along with many other partners.
