WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - The United States announced on Tuesday it will host a Middle East peace conference on Nov. 27 in Annapolis, Maryland that Washington hopes will launch formal negotiations to create a Palestinian state.

In addition to Israel and the Palestinians, the United States has invited a group of key Arab states including Syria and Saudi Arabia to the meeting to be held at the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

A general view of the Jewish settlement of Ariel, near the West Bank city of Nablus November 20, 2007. The rolling hills inland from Israel's busy coastal strip are dotted with towns and villages nestled under towers rising above the olive groves. Look closely, though, and one sees differences. Some towers are the minarets of mosques, others are concrete lookout posts for Israeli troops guarding Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Picture taken November 20, 2007.
