Lebanon's top Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah on Sunday [ September 13, 2009] issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, banning the normalization of ties with Israel.
"Normalization with the Zionist enemy in any form is prohibited by Sharia (Islamic law)," Fadlallah said in [a] statement.
"We confirm that the fatwa against normalization applies to every Muslim," he stressed.

What the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is really about (13)
"Peace in the Middle East does not hinge on settlements. And in Israel, a country governed by democracy and rule of law, a country that has made and will still make sacrifices for peace, settlements are no obstacle to progress.
What the Palestinians need now is leadership that is brave enough to establish an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, the nation-state of the Jewish people."
-- Asaf Shariv, Israeli consul general in New York. September 13, 2009
