1. (C) PolCouns on September 3 covered ref points on Iraq
and the roadmap with Ali al-Ayed, Director of Foreign
Minister Muasher's Private Office. On Iraq, PolCouns thanked
the GOJ for its recent public reception of an Iraqi Governing
Council (GC) delegation and encouraged the GOJ to continue to
work cooperatively with the GC, arguing that it is important
that GC representatives be given the opportunity to address
the upcoming Arab League Ministerial meeting, and participate
in the upcoming UNGA. Ayed said that there would be a
meeting in Cairo on September 8 (i.e. just before the
Ministerial meeting itself) that would determine what role
the GC would play in the Ministerial meeting.


2. (C) On the roadmap, PolCouns emphasized the vital
importance that the PA act now to dismantle terrorist
infrastructure. He asked the GOJ to continue to assist PA PM
Abbas and to do all it can to shut off the flow of funds to
HAMAS and other terrorist groups. Ayed responded that Jordan
agrees with these points, but believes that the U.S. and the
international community must also convince Israel to live up
to its roadmap commitments, specifically by ending targeted
assassinations, stopping construction of the separation wall,
and ceasing all settlement construction.


3. (U) CPA Baghdad minimize considered.
