| 2011-02-28 |
| [Arab News] The Paleostinian Authority (PA) on Sunday rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conditions to discuss the borders of future Paleostinian state. Netanyahu told the British daily the Telegraph that there is no basis to discuss the borders of Paleostinian state without the Paleostinian leadership recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. The Paleostinian Ministry of Information said in a press statement that Netanyahu's remarks "do not make peace." It described the top Israeli hawk's remarks as "a continuation of the black racism and an expression of evasion and getting around international legitimacy." The US administration has been sponsoring the peace negotiations between Israel and the Paleostinians. However, The infamous However... the Israeli-Paleostinian direct peace talks were suspended on Oct. 2, one month after they were launched in Washington, after Israel refused to freeze settlement construction. On Sept. 26, Israel refused to extend a 10-month moratorium over settlement freeze in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Paleostinians then suspended the talks and said that they won't get back to the negotiation table until settlements were stopped. |
