PRETORIA, 9 May -- As the United Nations African meeting on the question of Palestine opened here today, Paul Badji, Chairman of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, said that the meeting was being held amid broad international and regional efforts to relaunch the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Describing the grim and worsening conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, he stressed that it was absolutely essential that concrete negotiations be taken up in earnest. Indeed, the wider Middle East region would not know peace unless the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians was ended. Only a two-State solution, including the return of all Palestinian lands and refugees, would lead to a fair and sustainable solution.
