[Al Arabiya] Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas Friday rejected any compromise that does not guarantee a "complete halt" to Israeli settlement activity, his advisor Nabil Abu Rudeina told AFP.
"A total freeze must be maintained on settlement activity in the Paleostinian territories, including in Jerusalem. We reject any partial solution," he said two days before a 10-month partial moratorium on settlement construction in the occupied West Bank ends.

| Don't forget about the bombing of the presidential palace in Damascus ... |
| Sorry. He's so very forgettable, that chinless wonder who's all that's left of a classic Middle Eastern brute. |
