Egypt, Saudis Support Peace Talks
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: November 11, 2007
CAIRO, Egypt - Egypt and Saudi Arabia backed an upcoming U.S.-sponsored Mideast peace conference Saturday as a way to set the stage for a final agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, an Egyptian official said.
It was still unclear, however, whether the two countries would attend the conference, scheduled for late November in Annapolis, Md. Arab countries have been reluctant to commit to attending without guarantees that the meeting will yield firm results.
Palestinian officials said Saturday that preconference talks with Israel have hit a rough patch as negotiators try to write a joint document that is to serve as a basis for the meeting.
