Arab League Delegation Visits Israel
Wednesday July 25, 2007 9:46 AM
JERUSALEM (AP) - The foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan began a historic visit to Israel on Wednesday to formally present an Arab peace plan, saying they hoped for a ``positive'' response from the Jewish state.
The ministers arrived as representatives of the Arab League, the first time the 22-member group has sent a delegation to Israel. The Arab League peace plan envisions full recognition of Israel in return for evacuation of lands captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
``We hope that upon our return, we would also convey to the Arab League the responses of Israel and I hope that the responses will be positive,'' Egypt's foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said at a news conference.
