The Antichrist will confirm a seven year Middle East peace treaty when Satan tells him the timing is right to do so: see Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27. In the meantime Spain on Tuesday gave its backing to the Palestinian Authority and the creation of a Palestinian state, urging the European Union to raise its profile in the relaunched Middle East peace talks.
The Palestinian Authority "has been showing its capacity to (exercise) dialogue, flexibility and, above all, that it is seeking peace" with peaceful methods such as compromise and dialogue, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said after meeting his Palestinian counterpart Salam Fayyad in Madrid.
The two attended the first Spanish-Palestinian summit, which also involved several ministers from Spain and the Palestinian territories.
The summit was a signal of Spain's backing the creation of a Palestinian state, Zapatero said.
Zapatero and Fayyad agreed on the need for the EU to play a more dynamic role in the peace process. Zapatero promised to forward that message to Brussels and Washington.
Spain supports a democratic and free Palestine with a state a law and principles of equality, Zapatero said.
Fayyad described a Palestinian state as "inevitable," even if Israeli settlements represent a major obstacle for the peace process.
The peace talks should include the subjects of frontiers, Jerusalem, refugees, security, settlements and water, Spain and the Palestinian Authority said in a joint political declaration.
The dialogue should lead to the end of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories within a year, the declaration added.
The document urged Israel to stop discrimination against Palestinians in East Jerusalem, to dismantle settlements built since March 2001 and to end any blockade of the Gaza Strip.
