United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon...
I appreciate, first of all, and highly commend the initiative and leadership of Russian government to host the Quartet meeting at this time. This is crucially important timing for the peace process in the Middle East.The overall atmosphere has not been favorable. Now, with the proximity talks now being facilitating by the United States, it is very opportune timing for the principles of the Quartet to express their support and encourage further, try to find out what kind of role the Quartet can play. I"m quite convinced that this time the Quartet leaders will be able to play a significant role. I"m very much encouraged by this.
At the same time I would really hope that Israeli government should fully cooperate so that this proximity talks which has been very difficultly arranged and facilitated by the United States, and by the United Nations, and many other parties will not derail because of settlement policies. I have strongly condemned this settlement policy
