Arab Allies Condemn U.S. at Summit in Saudi Arabia
[Los Angeles Times] Noha el-Hennawy and Borzou Daragahi - Bush administration attempts to revive Arab-Israeli peace talks suffered a setback Wednesday as leaders at an Arab League summit in Riyadh, including the heads of state of several U.S. allies, condemned Washington's foreign policy and refused to budge on a peace proposal that Israeli officials have criticized. Saudi King Abdullah condemned the "illegitimate foreign occupation" of Iraq, and Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa lamented "the absence of honest mediation" in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Abdullah condemned the U.S.-backed aid boycott of the PA government led by Hamas militants who don't recognize Israel's right to exist.
