Normalization of Ties with Israel"
FULL TEXT:Lebanon's top Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah
on Sunday issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, banning the normalization of
ties with Israel.

(Islamic law)," Fadlallah said in statement.
"We confirm that the fatwa against normalization applies to every Muslim,"
he stressed.
The United States has called on Arab states to begin normalizing ties with
Israel and on the Jewish state to halt settlement construction in the
occupied West Bank in efforts to facilitate resumption of Israel-Palestinian
talks broken off in December.
Several Arab governments have indicated that they would consider steps
towards normalization but only if Israel agrees to a complete halt to
settlement construction.
Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab countries to have signed peace treaties
with the Israel.
