The Arab League said on Sunday it supported the Palestinian stance on the announcement of resumed talks with Israel, but that it was skeptical of Israeli intentions.
The League “is forming a political support network for the Palestinian side in case it accepts to go to the negotiations with the Israeli side,” Mohammed Sabih, deputy secretary-general for Palestinian affairs and occupied Arab territories, told reporters.
Sabih added that the Arab League was monitoring Israel’s stance so the talks were not simply “negotiations for the sake of negotiations, going round in a vicious circle.”
“This could be the last chance to revive the stalled peace process,” he noted.
