Arab leaders say that as long as Israel continues to occupy Palestinian Authority territories, discussing Saudi Arabia's proposed peace plan, which calls for normalization of relations between Arabs and Israel, is impossible. Amr Moussa, Secretary-General of the Arab League, told reporters today in Cairo that a peace plan exists. However, as long as Israeli tanks are just a few centimeters away from Yasser Arafat's office, it is not possible to discuss this plan. The Jordanian state news agency, through Minister of Interior Mohammad Adwan, has warned Israel not to harm the elected Palestinian leader. Jordanian officials state that the continuation of Israeli aggression and occupation of Palestinian lands will have consequences for Israel. In Middle Eastern and European countries, thousands of angry supporters of the Palestinians have protested against Israel's latest actions. In editorials of Arabic newspapers, the United States has been accused of complicity with Israel.
