Israel today also continues its attempts to evade an international
conference for peace, which has been proposed
by France and which has received the support of the majority
of the world's countries. In June of this year a ministerial
meeting was held in Paris to prepare for this conference,
it was attended by 28 countries, along with three inter-governmental
organizations. It remains our hope that such a conference will lead
to the establishment of a mechanism and defined timeframe for an
end to the occupation in accordance with the relevant resolutions
of the international community, the principle for land for peace,
the Arab Peace Initiative which calls, inter alia, for a just
and agreed solution for the Palestinian refugees in accordance
with (UN) resolution 194. We hope that all states of the world
will support the convening of this international peace conference
before the end of this year.
