JERUSALEM: For the first time in its history, the 22-nation Arab League will send a delegation to Israel this week, with the mission of discussing a sweeping peace initiative and the threat posed by Hamas and other Islamic extremists.

The announcement from Israeli and Arab diplomats came on Sunday, just as Israel’s Cabinet approved the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners in a bid to bolster moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his power struggle with Hamas.

Jordan’s Foreign Ministry said Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdul-Ilah Al Khatib and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit would arrive in Jerusalem on Thursday for talks with Israeli officials – Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Defence Minister Ehud Barak.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said the foreign ministers would lead an Arab League mission to Israel to discuss the Arab peace plan, which would trade full Arab recognition of Israel for an Israeli withdrawal from all lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war and the creation of a Palestinian state.

“This is the first time the Arab League is coming to Israel,” Regev said. “From its inception the Arab League has been hostile to Israel. It will be the first time we’ll be flying the Arab League flag.”

Arab League Secretary Amr Moussa said on Sunday, “The upcoming visit of Egypt’s and Jordan’s foreign ministers to Israel upon the request of the Arab committee of peace initiative is to conduct necessary contacts with Israel.”

The two foreign ministers, whose countries have peace agreements with Israel, have been designated as the League’s official point men for the Arab peace initiative.

Livni met them in Cairo in May for the first official, public talks between the two sides, and the Arab peace initiative was the focus.

Israel rejected the Arab plan outright when Saudi Arabia first proposed it in 2002, at the height of the Palestinian uprising. But it softened its resistance after moderate Arab states endorsed the plan again in March, sharing their concerns about Iran’s growing influence.(This is the reason why MUslim world is in dumps and will never come out.as Most of our so called leaders are concerned about a muslim nation becoming strong.)

Israeli officials have said they welcomed aspects of the plan, while rejecting its call for a return of all of the West Bank and an implied demand to take in Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war that followed Israel’s creation.

In another gesture of support for the moderate Palestinian leadership, Livni met late on Sunday in Jerusalem with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, according to Fayyad’s office and Mark Regev, a spokesman for Livni. Several days ago Fayyad met with Barak.

But at the same time, Israel has continued military operations aimed at Palestinian militants in the West Bank. Israeli forces killed a Palestinian gunman late on Sunday in an exchange of fire near the town of Jenin, Palestinian officials and the army said. Islamic Jihad said the militant, Mohammed Nazal, 24, was one its leaders. ap

Arab nations attack Israel, lost their land to them!!! Now they are asking them back by pleading not by force, ofcourse it is a show of weakness, But it is a reality of weakness. They are in no position to dictate terms
