Kuwait News Agency, Kuwait, 25 October 2001
Summary of report from Amman

Jordan and Morocco expressed their support for efforts to reach a Kuwait-Iraq settlement, condemning global terrorism and Israeli aggression against people in the occupied Palestinian territories. The two states asserted that settling the Kuwait-Iraq dispute is a must if Arab unity is ever to be restored. They demanded the lifting of the sanctions imposed on Iraq after its occupation of Kuwait in August 1990, so as to end the suffering of the Iraqi people and asserted that Iraq's territorial integrity and security would not be compromised.

Arab solidarity and the role of the Arab League and its departments to defend Arab communities against all threats must be boosted. Israeli persecution of Palestinians in the occupied territories breaches all principles of cease-fires or peace treaties. A fair and just peace should restore Arab rights by an Israeli withdrawal from all occupied territories including the Golan Heights back to the lines of June 1967, as well as from the Sheba'a farms region. An autonomous Palestinian state must be declared with Al-Quds as its capital.

Note: Jordan and Morocco are repeating the eternal Arab refrain that Arab states have the "right" to all territories they lost in wars of aggression against Israel. After September 11th 2001, this mantra has a hollow sound. Their attempt to help Iraq will not find sympathy in the US, though Britain's position on this issue is at best ambiguous. The more "Arab solidarity" is created, the more likely is it that the West will admit the seriousness of the Islamic danger.
