Arabs should re-engage in the peace process in Palestine and come forward with a new initiative, Mohammad Dahlan, Palestinian Minister of Civil Affairs, has said. "We ask Arab countries to intervene by bringing forward an Arab initiative and support the new elected governments and all Palestinian factions in keeping up a united front," said Mohammad Dahlan, who was also a former candidate to the Palestinian presidency. Dahlan accused the US of not providing guarantees to the Palestinian National Authority that negotiations for a final solution on the issues of refugees' right to return, the status of Occupied Jerusalem and Israeli colonies, would be back on track after Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. "We fear that Sharon's engagement would end with the withdrawal from Gaza. We have not yet received any guarantees from the US that negotiations for a final solution will be resumed," he said.
