Foreign ministers from the 22-member Arab League agreed Friday to give the United States another month to try to persuade Israel to renew the moratorium on West Bank settlement construction and keep Mideast peace talks from collapsing. The league also announced that it supports Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's decision to stop peace talks with following Israel's refusal to halt building, according to Reuters.

"The Israeli government was given the choice between peace and settlements, and it has chosen settlements," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said. "It (Israel) alone bears the responsibility for this."

"We support the Palestinian president's position calling for a complete halt of all settlement activities in order to resume negotiation," the Arab League's deputy Ahmad Bin Helli said as he read a statement issued after the ministerial meeting.
