ROME (Reuters) -- ""Israel talks about peace, but acts violence and aggression against the Palestinians"" Saudi King Abdullah said in an interview with Italy''s La Repubblica newspaper which published on Wednesday.

""Israel continues to take possession of Palestinian lands, to build new settlements and to expand existing ones. It imposes all kinds of unjust restrictions on Palestinians, including a siege, ignoring international rules and moral principles,"" Abdullah said.
""The more Arabs and the world make steps towards peace, the more Israel throws itself into violence and acts of aggression against the Palestinians,"" Abdullah told the newspaper.
""The Israelis always say (peace is near). But what counts is facts on the ground. Their words are never followed up with concrete actions.""
