Australian PM: Arab countries must accept Israel's right to exist
By DPA

Australian Prime Minister John Howard said Tuesday that Arab nations must recognize Israel's right to exist for there to be peace in the Middle East.

Israel would also have to accept a Palestinian state for the sake of progress in peace.

"There must be unconditional acceptance throughout the entire Arab world, without exception, of Israel's right to exist in peace and security behind recognized borders," Howard told a security conference in Canberra.

"The entire Arab world - including Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas and in addition Iran - must give up for ever the idea that the Israelis can be driven into the sea," he said.

The prime minister also addressed the fear that Iran wants to arm itself with nuclear weapons.

"Iran's behavior, in defiance of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1696, needs to be met with resolve by the international community," Howard said.

"While Australia is committed to finding a diplomatic solution," Howard added, stressing that "The UN needs to act quickly and decisively to ensure its credibility."
