Syria, Libya pressure Palestinians to quit talks

.
Syria and Libya teamed up Sunday to pressure the Palestinian leader to quit peace talks with Israel and return to violence, delegates to an Arab leadership summit said.

Syrian President Bashar Assad* urged Abbas to withdraw from a U.S.-supported peace strategy and resume armed resistance to Israel, according to two delegates who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Summit host Moammar Gadhafi of Libya warned that his nation will withdraw support for an initiative launched at a 2002 Arab League summit in Beirut calling for exchanging land for peace with Israel, the delegates said.

"The price of resistance is not higher than the price of peace,"

Arab League chief Amr Moussa urged leaders at the opening of the summit to create a new strategy to pressure Israel and stressed the peace process cannot be "open ended"...

[ Why don't any of the Arab countries offer any land for this evidently necessary 'Palestinian' state? A: they don't want progress: they're protecting the victim industry this farce has become, worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the west and providing a constant 'issue' against Israel.

The West is being played for fools yet again - Israel has no 'partners' in peace - yet Kerry is headed to speak with Assad today??]
