1. (C) MFA Deputy Director General for the Middle East
Alberto Ucelay received reftel demarche on November 21.
Ucelay restated FM Moratinos' belief that the Annapolis
Conference was an important step in facilitating efforts by
Israelis and Palestinians to conclude a final, comprehensive
peace. In recent weeks, Moratinos has publically stated many
times that he believes that it is possible to achieve
important new agreements in the near future. Spain is
committed to bolstering the legitimacy of President Abbas and
the PLO through civil society development programs and
financial support through EU mechanisms. Spain plans to
hold a major Middle East Peace event during its January-June
2010 EU Presidency.
