A
conference entitled “Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Security in
the Middle East” met in Warsaw, Poland, February 13-14, 2019. The gathering of nearly 70 nations was
organized by Poland and the US to discuss a number of issues including the
crises in Yemen, the perceived threat of Iran, and the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict. Russia and Iran did not officially
attend the conference.
Among
those attending were Jordanian minister Ayman Safadi, Saudi Arabian minister, Abdullah
bin Zayed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Vice-President Mike Pence,
and Poland Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
Morawiecki had planned to visit Israel next week, but has reconsidered after Benjamin
Netanyahu made despairing remarks during the conference about Polish
involvement in the Jewish holocaust.
Jordanian
minister Ayman
Safadi attended the conference and made known his country’s stance that
there will be no peace and security in the region without resolving the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which included the rights of the Palestinians.
The
US peace plan for the Middle East was not revealed, though there are
indications it will be unveiled
after the Israeli elections next April.
