Last update - 21:28 24/02/2008 Jordan to Arab MKs: Unilateral measures will harm peace talks By DPA Tags: Jordan, peace process, Israel  Jordanian Foreign Minister Salah Bashir conferred Sunday with Arab lawmakers at the Knesset and cautioned that Israeli unilateral moves could derail peace talks with the Palestinians. "Israel's unilateral measures and practices in the Palestinian territories will have a negative impact on the peace process and efforts under way to reach a solution for the Middle East conflict," Bashir was quoted as saying. "The continuation of settlement activity in the Palestinian territories will impede any progress in the ongoing negotiations in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on core issues," he added. Advertisement Bashir referred mainly to Israel's ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip and the continued settlement activity in East Jerusalem, which was part of the Hashemite Kingdom when Israel captured the Arab part of the holy city in the 1967 Six Day War. The Jordanian foreign minister and the visiting Arab deputies at the Knesset were in agreement that "the understandings reached at the Annapolis conference and the road map should be honored in the run-up for reaching a just and durable solution," an official statement said.
