Palestinians to reconsider agreements with Israel

Ramallah:
The Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) would consider
breaking agreements signed with Israel if the Israeli government
continue with the current policies, a PLO official said Saturday
in an interview with the Arab newspaper al-Hayat.
"There are agreements between the PLO and Israel. One party cannot
continue to be committed to these agreements forever while the
other party violates them," said PLO executive committee secretary
Yasser Abed Rabbo.
"There may come a time, if the Israelis continue in the same
policies, to reconsider these agreements," he added.
In an interview with the London-based Arab newspaper, Abed Rabbo
referred to the Israeli settlement policy and said that "any
freeze should be total and comprehensive and not limited by time".
"If we start negotiations without clear goals, then two months or
two years or two decades will not be enough for the negotiations
to reach their goal," he said.
The PLO official accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
of "making an alliance with the right wing in the US to weaken the
Obama administration".
The peace talks have reached an impasse, with the Israeli
government not committing itself to extend the freeze on the
settlements in the West Bank, the chief demand by the Palestinian
government as a condition to continue the negotiations.
