Israeli minister encourages Spain to up diplomacy in Mideast

Madrid - Spain's healthy relations with both Israel and the Arab world put it in an excellent position to help promote peace efforts in the Middle East, Israeli Education Minister Guidon Saar said Monday during a visit to Spain. Israel might start new talks with the Palestinians "in some weeks," if the Palestinians solved their internal divisions and political problems, the minister said.

Israel and Spain were due to sign cooperation agreements in areas including research during the visit of Saar, who held talks with Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos on Sunday.

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, whose country holds the rotating European Union presidency in the first half of 2010, is scheduled to visit Israel on October 14.
