Arab ministers denounce Israeli ‘arrogance' over blocking West Bank visit
CAIRO: Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud said the Israeli government's refusal to allow Arab ministers to the occupied West Bank showed its 'extremism and rejection of peace.' His statements came during a joint press conference with counterparts from Jordan, Egypt and Bahrain in Amman. The Arab ministers condemned what they described as the 'arrogant' Israeli decision to ban them from visiting the West Bank and its rejection to any peace efforts. Members of the Ministerial Committee assigned by the Joint Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit on Gaza met with Jordan's King Abdullah II in Amman earlier today to discuss ceasefire efforts in the Gaza Strip and a post-war plan. On Saturday, Israel said it will not allow a planned meeting on Sunday in the Palestinian administrative capital of Ramallah to go ahead.
