| Israel Halts Peace Talks after Reconciliation Deal |
| 2014-04-25 |
| [An Nahar] Israel said on Thursday it was halting negotiations with the Paleostinians following their unity deal with the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers of Gazoo, as faltering U.S.-backed peace talks approached their deadline. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the agreement between the rival factions as a move that "kills peace," but senior Paleostinian official Saeb Erakat blamed the demise of the process on Israeli settlement activity. On Wednesday, the Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO) -- internationally recognized as the sole representative of the Paleostinian people -- and the Gazoo Strip's Islamist Hamas rulers signed a reconciliation agreement. Under the deal, they agreed to form a "national consensus" government under Abbas within weeks. |
