Arab states will respond to Israel's recent decision to expand an East Jerusalem settlement, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani said on Wednesday.
"There will be a meeting today between the representatives of Arab states and [Arab League Security General]Amr Moussa," told reporters, adding, "There will be a clear decision in response to this Israeli act."
"We had already had doubts about Israel's seriousness in the peace process, but we had given... [peace talks] an opportunity through our decision," he said after meeting Moussa in Doha.
"The insult has reached a point that not a single Arab could accept," Moussa told reporters on Wednesday.
"Israel does not care about anybody, neither the mediator, nor the Palestinians," Moussa said.
He warned Arab backing for indirect talks was "a temporary position," hinting the Arab ministerial committee, which hesitantly supported the talks, might meet to reconsider its stance.
