Palestinians seek Arab consultation on Obama speech (Reuters)

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters)-Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asked the Arab League Saturday to call for a discussion of President Barack Obama's vision of peace with Israel, a Palestinian official said.


The meeting will probably take place monthly at the end, said the official. Abbas has previously consulted with the Arab League on when designing Palestinian strategy vis-à-vis Israel, with which negotiations have been stalled since last year.
