FM, Dutch counterpart hold extended talks, 1st add

Safadi stressed that the Arab League meeting yesterday and its decision to cancel the freezing of Syria's membership in it came within the framework of a leading Arab effort to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis, ending this catastrophe and dealing with all its humanitarian, security and political consequences, according to a step-by-step methodology, and in line with the international legitimacy decisions. "In the region, We are the most affected country by the Syrian crisis. This crisis has caused many disasters, and the crisis management methodology that has been adopted over the past years has produced nothing but more devastation, destruction, and suffering for the Syrians, and threats to us in the region and in the world as well. Therefore, steps had to be taken that would gradually take us towards solving this crisis," Safadi added. He said that there is an understanding of the difficulty and complexities of the solution path in light of the many issues that must be dealt with. "However, we started and are continuing on this path because the disengagement option is to continue with the status quo, which we, as neighboring countries, cannot continue to deal with." Safadi added that his talks with the Dutch foreign minister discussed the Palestinian cause, which is a priority for the Kingdom, and that he briefed Hoekstra on King Abdullah's efforts to stop the deterioration and find a political horizon leading towards achieving a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution, which embodies the independent Palestinian state with occupied Jerusalem as its capital, on the pre-June 4, 1967 borders, to live in peace and security alongside Israel.
