Saudi Rials cover Zionist' presence

Saudi Arabia has reportedly paid for the expenses of a high-level Zionist delegation to attend a two-day UN interfaith conference.

In an effort to promote respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, including religious beliefs, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah initiated a summit on interfaith cooperation at the United Nations headquarters in November.

The expenses of the Zionist delegation which consisted of more than 20 high ranking officials were covered by Riyadh, a Saudi official said on Sunday.

The official who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the information said that during the conference Zionist and Saudi officials held secret talks.

Zionist President Shimon Peres and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni held secret meetings with the Saudi monarch and Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, the official added.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was reportedly present at the talks, which focused on a new peace plan between the Arab states and Israel.

The Saudis have agreed that the plan which is expected to be announced after US President-elect Barack Obama takes office, should not call for "Jerusalem (al-Quds) to be the future Palestinian capital" and "the right of return to thousands of Palestinian refugees", the official said.

The Palestinians have long asserted that the refugees have a moral and legal right to return to their lands they were forced to abandon during the Zionist-Arab wars in 1948 and 1967.

The Zionist Entity fiercely opposes the refugee's right to return because opening the door to a potential 4 million Palestinians would threaten the very nature of the regime.

If implemented, the new plan will be a U turn for the Saudi monarchy. In 2002 the then-Crown Prince, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, offered to normalize relations with The Zionist Entity if it recognized "an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital," and if it agreed to a 'just solution' for the Palestinian refugees.
