Peace and Settlement cannot go together, says Abbas
Monday, August 23, 2010 07:50:45 AM,
ummid.com News Desk |
Malegaon:
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday expressed his hope
that Israeli will choose the peace option and not the settlement
one.
The Palestinian president’s remarks came in a letter the chief
Palestinian negotiator sent to US President Barack Obama, Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and EU
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Catherine Ashton, reports Arab News Correspondent, Mohammad
Mar'i from Ramallah.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invited the Israeli and
Palestinian leaders on Friday to launch direct Middle East peace
talks on Sept. 2 in Washington. She said peace negotiations can be
completed within one year and that the talks should start without
precondition.
Both the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel have accused the
other of setting preconditions for the talks, questioning the other
side's sincerity.
The Israeli government has described the PA's demand to freeze the
Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank as a precondition.
The PA, on the other hand, has asserted that Israel has imposed
conditions for the talks by repeatedly mentioning its requirements
that cannot be negotiated in any peace deal.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed to
strengthen that perception when he said that any peace deal with the
Palestinians is possible only if the Palestinians recognized Israel
as a "Jewish people's state" and agreed to the establishment of a
"demilitarized Palestinian state."
“We are talking about a peace agreement between Israel and a
demilitarized Palestinian state, and this state, if it is
established at the end of the process ... is meant to end the
conflict and not to be a foundation for its continuation by other
means,” Netanyahu said.
"Achieving peace is possible, but difficult," he said. "I am aware
that there is a great deal of skepticism after 17 years, and it is
possible to understand why. We want to surprise all the skeptics,
but for that we also need the other side."
The Palestinians have balked at that demand that they recognize
Israel as a Jewish state, saying it could prejudice the rights of
Israel's Arab minority and compromise the right of Palestinian
refugees to return to homes vacated in the fighting around Israel's
establishment in 1948.
The 22-member Arab League expressed "deep concern" over Israel's
position. A statement by the group said the organization fears that
"Israel's explanation" for the basis of the resumption of the talks
would lead "once again to a vicious circle" of fruitless
negotiations.
