'Israel ruining talks with PA on purpose'
2010-10-02
[Iran Press TV] A top Paleostinian official has accused Israel of deliberately ruining the new round of talks between Paleostinian Authority and Tel Aviv by resuming its settlement activity.
"Yeah! And they expect us to acknowledge that they're a Jewish country. The cheek!!"
Senior Paleostinian Authority official Yasser Abed Rabbo said on Friday that Israel's refusal to halt settlement construction in the occupied West Bank is equivalent to a refusal to continuation of the US-sponsored direct talks.

Rabbo made the remarks after acting Paleostinian Authority Chief the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas told US envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell that the Paleostinian side would not engage in further negotiations with Israel as long as Tel Aviv is expanding its Jewish settlements on occupied Paleostinians lands.

Paleostinians believe that expansion of Jewish settlements on their lands will make the establishment of a Paleostinian state in the West Bank and Gazoo Strip impossible.

The two sides have reportedly agreed to continue talks indirectly.

Tel Aviv intensified its illegal construction work in the West Bank on Monday, hours after the expiry of a partial freeze on settlement constructions despite worldwide calls for the expansion and extension of the partial freeze.

Paleostinian Authority had repeatedly threatened to leave the US-sponsored direct talks with Tel Aviv if Israel resumes settlement construction. the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas is expected to respond to the decision after a meeting of Arab leaders in Egypt on Wednesday.

The settlement construction on the occupied Paleostinian lands is in violation of the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society Security Council Resolutions 446, 452 and 465.
