Israel, Morocco Discuss Meeting
Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Morocco’s King Hassan II have been in contact about a possible meeting that “could be a great boost” to the Mideast peace process, Peres spokesman Uri Savir confirmed here late Monday.
Savir was responding to a statement by Hassan in an interview with French journalists in Rabat, Morocco, that he would be willing to meet Peres if the prime minister had a serious peace plan to discuss. Hassan acted as an early intermediary in 1979 before the historic Israeli-Egyptian talks at Camp David, Md.
