Pullout details expected in mid-April - Qureia

AMMAN, April 9 (Petra) - Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia on Thursday said part of Israel's plans to unilaterally withdraw from Gaza Strip are expected to be revealed in mid-April.

Qureia told the press here that he met Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher for talks on the Israeli plan, the Middle East peace process and His Majesty King Abdullah's upcoming visit to the US.

He added that he discussed with Muasher the Arab summit, which “should be held as soon as possible.”

For his part, Muasher reiterated that any Israeli pullback must come “within the framework” of the internationally backed roadmap, “leading eventually to the end of Israeli occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.”

Qureia also met Prime Minister Faisal Fayez for similar talks.
