I AM BY NATURE OPTIMISTIC AND I DON'T KNOW DESPAIR. GOD WILL FIND A WAY OUT FOR THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
ON MY WAY TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT BUSH I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE NEWS OF OUR THREATS TO THE US.
WE WANT TO HAVE RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES BASED ON MUTUAL RESPECT. WE WILL NOT THREATEN THEM AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY THREAT FROM THEM.
MY INTENTION WAS TO GET THE SAUDI, ARAB AND ISLAMIC VOICE ESPECIALLY THE VOICE OF THE PALESTINIANS HEARD BY THE DECISION-MAKERS IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE EXPLAINED TO THE US SIDE THAT PRESIDENT YASSER ARAFAT IS THE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND IS NOT ONLY REPRESENTING HIMSELF.
PRESIDENT BUSH IS THE ONLY US PRESIDENT WHO CALLED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PALESTINIAN STATE, AND WE WANT TO PUSH THINGS PEACEFULLY IN THIS DIRECTION. |

THE ARAB INITIATIVE HAS DISCLOSED TO THE WORLD THE REAL NATURE OF ISRAEL, THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT IT IS ISRAEL AND NOT THE ARABS THAT REJECTS PEACE.
THE ZIONIST CAMP AND EXTREMISTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO UNDERMINE THE SAUDI-AMERICAN RELATIONS, ARAB-AMERICAN RELATIONS AND MUSLIM-AMERICAN RELATIONS. |

THE MINISTERIAL COUNCIL'S FINAL STATEMENT: THE ARAB PEACE INITIATIVE IS INTEGRAL AS A BASIS FOR REALIZING JUST AND COMPREHENSIVE PEACE AND EXPRESSES AN ARAB PUBLIC OPINION.

ARAB CONSULTATIONS PRECEDE THE FOLLOW-UP COMMITTEE'S MEETING IN BEIRUT. |

PRINCE SAUD AL FAISAL: THE ADOPTION OF THE SAUDI PEACE INITIATIVE AT THE ARAB SUMMIT IS A STRONG INDICATION OF THE UNIFIED ARAB STANCE.
PRINCE BANDAR IBN SULTAN: THE ISRAELIS HAVE NOT COME TO THE UNITED STATES TO TALK ABOUT PEACE BUT TO DERAIL THE EFFORTS OF THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR PEACE.
THE SAUDI REPRESENTATIVE AT THE UN: ISRAEL CONSIDERS ITSELF ABOVE THE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT WHICH DECREASES THE CREDIBILITY OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL.
A SAUDI OFFICIAL: WE WILL KEEP PAYING OUT HUMANITARIAN AID TO THE PALESTINIANS AND SHARON IS TRYING TO DISTRACT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE PEACE INITIATIVE. |
