New York - Arab governments are planning to meet Monday in New York to discuss an end to the Israel-Hamas fighting, a representative of the Arab League said Friday.

The foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Qatar, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Morocco and Iraq, and the president of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas, will be at UN headquarters to discuss their proposal for a ceasefire in the current conflict in Gaza Strip.

The Arabs have presented a draft resolution calling for a ceasefire, which was under discussion by legal experts of the UN Security Council. (dpa)
