Eugene BirdAmr Moussa Describes the Arab League Peace Initiative (2006)

A seven-member CNI-led observer mission to the Palestinian Legislative Council
elections on January 25th, 2006 including Ambassadors Edward Peck and Robert Keeley, included stays in all five neighboring countries: Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The delegation met with top government officials and leading opposition figures in Palestine and neighboring Arab countries to assess the accelerated development of democratic institutions and their impact on U.S. long-term interests in the region.

Amr Moussa
Amr Moussa (born 1936) is the current Secretary-General of the
League of Arab States since his election to the position in May 2001.
He is a former Egyptian Foreign Minister and diplomat
He served as CairoÂs ambassador to India in 1967 and as EgyptÂs
ambassador to the United Nations in 1990. He was appointed
Foreign Minister in the Ganzouri Cabinet in 1991 and remained in this
position until 2001.
During his tenure as Foreign Minister, Moussa was critical of the
United States foreign policy and its biased relationship with Israel.
Critics of current Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak allege that
Moussa's appointment to the Office of Secretary-General of the Arab
League was motivated by Mubarak's desire to remove him from the
public spotlight.
In 2004 an online community gathered tens of thousands of
signatures petitioning for Moussa to run in the 2005 elections, but
there was no response.
