Spanish Foreign Minsiter Miguel Angel Moratinos said Friday that the new Mideast peace initiative drafted by Spain, France and Italy was not coordinated with Israel for fear that Jerusalem would reject it.In a telephone interview with Haaretz, Moratinos said the plan does not recommend the immediate deployment of a large international force similar to the UNIFIL contingent stationed in Lebanon. Instead, a limited force of inspectors would be deployed to help establish and enforce the cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants.He said that he sought to reassure Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni that there was nothing in the plan "that Israel can reject."
