Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa reported at a recent press conference in London "at the moment, there's no peace in the Middle East"

Moussa added that "Recent moves by the international community and President Obama can merely be described as 'peace efforts"
 

"Besides, how can there be any peace when Israel continues to build new settlements?" Moussa asked. He went on to say that a military strike against Iran by the US or Israel would be "reckless."

On the current tense situation in Jerusalem, Moussa said the league "cannot accept that Jerusalem, with its sacred Al-Aqsa Mosque, would fall outside the borders of a future Palestinian state."

He went on to note that recent Israeli violations of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound "will be discussed, along with the Goldstone report, at a special session of the UN Security Council."  

Answering a question about his proposed nomination for the Egyptian presidency, Moussa said "I'm here in my capacity as Arab League secretary-general," adding that "I won't talk about Egypt's internal affairs."
