Gulf (GCC) call for Palestinian state

Tuesday, 21 December, 2004, 13:19 GMT

The leaders of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) have urged President Bush to make the creation of an independent Palestinian state an absolute priority.

They said that Mr Bush should adopt a three-year-old Saudi blueprint.

The plan offered Israel normal ties with the Arab world, in return for its withdrawal from all territories captured since the war of 1967.

The statement was issued by the council near the end of its annual meeting, which is being held in Bahrain.
