Abdullah warns that the time for peace is now or never


Jordan's king Abdullah, on a visit to Japan, spoke about the stagnating peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. Abdullah expressed a sombre view on the political arena and said that 2007 may prove to be the critical year and that if peace is not achieved within the next 6 months it may never happen.
Abdullah said that already the chance for peace has diminished and that may soon it will be safe to say that the Palestinians have no future. The results will be disastrous for the entire region including Israel.
Abdullah called upon the international community to inspire hope in the Palestinians and to prove to both them and Israel that the two states solution is the only viable way out of the present cycle of violence.
