Middle East

Asked what the key objective of the Middle East meetings were, the PMS replied that there was a whole series of meetings on the Middle East today. The focus of the Quartet meeting would be on maintaining momentum behind the Annapolis process and the Annapolis conference, addressing the situation in Gaza, and supporting the work of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee that the Norwegians chaired. In parallel, the Foreign Secretary was hosting a meeting of Arab Foreign Ministers which would push for greater engagement on the Middle East Peace Process, and then those two groups would come together for a Quartet and Arab joint meeting – quite a significant initiative to bring both the Quartet and the Arab Ministers together in one forum.

  1. Anyone over forty will remember how the BBC,and in particular Mr John Humphreys treated the Whites-only regime in Rhodesia.They did not like it.They were,apparently,disgusted by the treatment of the Black majority so Mr Humphreys in his daily reports on BBCTV made sure viewers in the UK got the message.
    So why are the BBC and attack-dog Humphreys not in the least concerned about the Jewish oppression of the Palestinian people?There must be a reason.
