Report: Jordanian FM refused to take Israeli car to Jericho
By DPA

Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdelelah Al-Khatib on Wednesday refused to take an Israeli car to the West Bank city of Jericho, where he took part in a four-party meeting, the pro-government Al-Rai newspaper reported Thursday.

"Khatib categorically refused that his Jordanian car be replaced by an Israeli vehicle after crossing the King Hussein Bridge," a major crossing point on River Jordan, Al-Rai reported.

The foreign minister contended that the meeting "was being held on Palestinian land and that the Israeli side has nothing to do with it," it added.

"After a controversy that lasted for 25 minutes, the Jordanian minister was allowed to proceed to the meeting's site in accordance with the Jordanian arrangements," the paper said.

The meeting grouped Al-Khatib, the Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat and the Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso in a discussion over Japan's agro-industrial park, "The Corridor of Prosperity and Peace."

Al-Khatib expressed Jordan's strong support for the Japanese initiative, but stressed that "such projects should not represent a substitute for achieving progress in the peace process that ensures an end to the Israeli occupation" of the West Bank.
