Shaath: We will not be dragged into violence
|
[Ma'an] Fatah Central Committee member Nabil Sha'ath said Sunday there will be no return to talks with Israel until a full settlement halt is upheld, following a meeting with the PLO executive and leaders of Palestinian factions in Ramallah.
In reference to the recent killing of four Palestinian teenagers in Nablus, Sha'ath said "we will not be dragged behind Israeli escalation that wants us to enter into armed confrontation. Israel is trying to force such a confrontation to cover up its denial of Palestinian rights."
"Israel is acting with obsession and insanity in its confrontation against the popular struggle in the territories. We, in the West Bank and Gaza, realize well how dangerous a return to armed conflict could be, so we are alert," he told Ma'an.
The meeting, headed by PLO secretary-general Yasser Abed Rabbo, discussed the US stance toward talks with Israel as well as the International Quartet's position.
"The committee is waiting for [Middle East envoy] George Mitchell's response toward Israel's latest settlement project as well the US stance," Sha'ath said.
The Fatah official said Mitchell with meet with President Abbas on Monday in Amman, where the Ramallah leadership "will ask Mitchell about the US stance on building 1,600 settlement homes in East Jerusalem and possibly delaying the project for three years."
