'The true prize for Israel is to have peace from Morocco to Oman' - King

Amman
08 March 2005

His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday said all regional and international concerned parties have to work together to help Palestinians and Israelis move the peace process forward.

"If we want to have a true peace in the Middle East, it's not Israel's peace to the Jordan River or the Golan Heights or Sinai. The true prize for Israel is to have peace in the Arab world from Morocco in the Atlantic to Oman in the Indian Ocean. That is the true essence of having an Israeli future but at the same time, there has to be a future for the Palestinians," His Majesty King Abdullah said in an interview with Israel TV Channel 2 yesterday.
