Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal
Saudi Arabia has denounced the easygoing international
attitude, which has emboldened Israel into destroying the
prospects of Middle East peace.
"In the international community, Israel has become like a
spoiled child," said Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal
following talks with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu
in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, AFP reported.
"We can't reach a solution with the preferential treatment
that Israel gets," al-Faisal added.
Tel Aviv refuses to meet the Palestinian condition for
recommencement of peace talks by enforcing a permanent and
complete freeze on its settlement expansion in the occupied
Palestinian territories.
The resulting long-standing standoff in the Middle East
peace talks was compounded by Israel's December 2008-January
2009 offensives against the Gaza Strip, which claimed the
lives of more than 1,400 Palestinians. A UN-commissioned
inquiry earlier in the year convicted Tel Aviv of
perpetrating war crimes during the raids.
Al-Faisal also deplored the international community's
"double-standard" towards Israel, questioning why only
"other countries who violate international law are
punished."
The 69-year-old Saudi prince last month regretted the
failure of his efforts to establish a Palestinian state and
regional peace during his 35 years in office.
The two ministers urged the international community to take
a "stern and serious stance" against Israel's settlement
policy.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
