While top Israeli and Palestinian officials discussed security at a Middle East forum Saturday, an American senator advised Arab leaders to focus on injustices in their own countries and reminded them that U.S. policy is security for Israel first and justice for Palestinians "if possible."
On the sidelines of a World Economic Forum conference on the Middle East, Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres and Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia discussed the recent flare-up of violence threatening their fragile truce as well as Israel's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
"There's an attempt to get the peace process back on track in a bid to make the withdrawal from Gaza, if it happens, a serious, real (and) practical step," Qureia told reporters as he headed into the meeting with Peres at a Dead Sea resort in Jordan.

The US telling other countries they need to focus more on domestic issues, go figure.
