** Middle East<\/u><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tAlvaro de Soto, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, today attended a working-level meeting of the Middle East Quartet in Cairo.  The Quartet, you’ll recall, brings together the United Nations, the European Union, Russia and the United States.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tThe Quartet envoys discussed the talks that are under way on the formation of a unity government among the Palestinians and the recent security situation on the ground.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tAfterwards, de Soto said, it had been a good meeting and reiterated the stance expressed in the Quartet statement of 20 September, welcoming the efforts by the Palestinians to form a Government of National Unity, in that hopes that the platform of such a Government would reflect Quartet principles and allow for early engagement.  He also hoped that such a government could make a contribution to reducing the sort of Palestinian rocket attacks, which today tragically claimed one Israeli life in the town of Sderot.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tMeanwhile, in Cairo, de Soto also intends to meet with Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, and with Amre Moussa, the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
