PA negotiator: We may withdraw recognition of Israel
|
Palestinians may cancel agreements signed between the PLO and Israel; Abbas paving way for Hamas and Islamic Jihad to take control over entire W. Bank, says Fatah official after Islamist groups agree to join PLO.
Mohammed Shtayyeh, member of the Fatah Central Committee and one of the Paleostinian Authority negotiators with Israel, was quoted Sunday as saying that the Paleostinians may cancel the agreements signed between the PLO and Israel.
Meanwhile,
...back at the sea battle, the Terror of the Baltic's career had come to an abrupt and watery end...
some PLO and Fatah leaders have privately criticized Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
for agreeing to incorporate Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, into the PLO.
At least three bigwigs in Ramallah have voiced strong reservations over the decision, a Fatah official told The Jerusalem Post. He said that those who were opposed to the move were worried that Hamas would replace Fatah as the dominant party in the PLO.
One official was quoted as saying that Abbas was paving the way for Hamas and Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the liquidation of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
to take control not only over the PLO, but the entire West Bank as well.
Shtayyeh's comments were published by the London-based Asharq Al Awsat newspaper.
This was not the first time that a senior PA official had talked about the possibility of abrogating the Oslo Accords.
The comments came less than 48 hours after Hamas and Islamic Jihad agreed to join a temporary leadership of the PLO that would prepare for new elections for the organization's two key bodies - the Paleostine National Council and Executive Committee.
In response to a question about Israeli settlements, Shtayyeh said: "If Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu insists that there is no difference between the settlement of Abu Ghneim [Har Homa] and Tel Aviv, we won't distinguish between Ramallah and Jaffa."
With regards to the PLO's decision to recognize Israel in 1993, Shtayyeh explained: "The recognition of Israel was not a balanced recognition. The PLO recognized Israel in the geographic sense, but Israel did not recognize Paleostine geographically, but as an institution. Israel only recognized the PLO. Now we are demanding a mutual recognition. We want Israel to recognize the Paleostinian territories of 1967."
Shtayyeh said the Paleostinians' efforts would from now on focus on internal affairs. "President [Mahmoud] Abbas is now interested in reuniting the Paleostinians," he said. "In the year 2012, their will be a political vacuum because the US will be preoccupied with presidential elections, the Europeans with the Euro crisis and the Arabs with their "Spring."
| In other words, nobody will have the time to force the Israelis to give away another couple of pieces for the possibility of talking about discussing the next stage of the Israeli surrender. That will be a nice change. |
