LONDON: 28 July, 2010
Humanitarian organization Press For Peace (PFP) has
expressed satisfaction over latest developments on Middle East Peace Process.
"Press for Peace (PFP) understands that direct
peace talks are possible with the Israelis when settlement activities are
frozen and Israel is cooperating with international peace makers,"
Executive
Director Press for Peace Zafar Iqbal said in a statement here on Thursday.
Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas on Monday
stressed that the Palestinians are ready for direct peace negotiations with
Israel, denying he was avoiding such talks.
Iqbal expressed that Israeli PM’s surprise visit to
Jordan is yet another example that Israel is seriously engaging in the peace
process.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held
talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II on the Middle East peace process during a
previously unannounced visit to Amman on Tuesday.
"Press for Peace counts it another good opportunity
to avail long lasting peace in Middle East." PFP head said.
This visit comes as Israel and the Palestinians are
at loggerheads over holding direct peace talks and ahead of an Arab League.
He said the parties – Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs,
Europeans and Americans – have really to engage in a meaningful peace process.
