AMMAN - Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, said the Israeli government's refusal to allow a delegation of Arab ministers into the occupied West Bank showed its "extremism and rejection of peace".
The minister's statement came during a joint press conference in Amman with his counterparts from Jordan, Egypt and Bahrain, after they met as part of an Arab contact group that was going to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
"Israel's refusal of the committee's visit to the West Bank embodies and confirms its extremism and refusal of any serious attempts for (a) peaceful pathway... It strengthens our will to double our diplomatic efforts within the international community to face this arrogance," the Saudi minister said.
