Saudi FM: Palestinians close to putting last nail in their own coffin Haaretz ^ \| 6/15/07 \| News Agencies haaretz.com Saudi Arabia said Friday that Palestinians have come close to putting the last nail in their coffin and called on both Hamas and Fatah to revive the unity government. In a speech to an emergency meeting of Arab League foreign ministers to discuss the situation in Gaza, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said the latest fighting between Fatah and Hamas had served the interests of Israel. "Today the Palestinians have come close to putting by themselves the last nail in the coffin of the Palestinian cause," he told other Arab foreign ministers in closed session. The Saudi delegation made his speech available. "The Palestinian leaderships must now issue an order, not just to stop the fighting immediately but also to outlaw fighting, and to return to dialogue," he added. The Saudi speech did not take sides in the conflict, which passed a crucial stage on Thursday when Hamas forces took control of the Gaza Strip, raising the prospect of a political divide between Gaza and the West Bank. Diplomats say Saudi Arabia has tended to favor the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas but not to the same extent as the governments of Egypt and Jordan. Prince Saud added: "It would be best for our Palestinian brothers to return to their commitment to the Mecca agreement [on Palestinian unity] and work to carry it out."
