Israeli settlement offer fails on Abbas decision
Azerbaijan News.Net
Thursday 26th November, 2009
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said that peace talks will not be able to resume unless Israel halts settlement activity in East Jerusalem as well as the West Bank.
On Wednesday, in a move welcomed by the US, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed a 10-month halt for new building permits for Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
President Abbas has now insisted the Israeli obligation should spread to the settlements of all the occupied Palestinian territories including East Jerusalem.
But Israel has called on the Palestinians to move quickly to take up the original offer, calling it an unprecedented step towards achieving peace in the Middle East.
The Palestinian leader has said the offer is nothing new and any talks aimed at reaching a two-state solution must include Jerusalem.
Israel captured East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in a move that was condemned internationally.
Israeli officials authorised new settlement construction there last week.  Email this story to a friend

Abbas rejects Israeli settlement offer
FOR PRECISION ISRAEL RE-CAPTURED JERUSALEM 1967 WHERE FROM THE JEWS WERE EXPELLED BY THE ARAB
LEGION OF JORDAN 1948 FROM THE OLD CITY WHERE THEY ERE THE MAJORITY .
THE ARABS DESTROYED ALL THE SYNAGOGUES ,USED THE
JEWISH TOMBSTONES AS TOILETS AND PREVENTED THE JEWS DURING THIS 19 YEARS TO PRAY AT THEIR HOLIEST
SITE THE WESTERN WALL WITH THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
DURING THIS TIME MANY THOUSANS OF ARABS COMING FROM EVERYWHERE DID OCCUPY THE HOUSES LEFT BY THE JEWS AND BUILT OTHERS WITHOUT ANY REACTION FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
NOW PALESTINIANS THROW OFTEN STONES FROM THE ABOVE SITUATED ESPLANADE AT THE JEWISH PRAYING CROWD
AT THE WESTERN WALL WHICH IS SEVERAL METERS AT THE BOTTOM.
FOR THOSE WHICH IGNORE IT JERUSALEM IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE KORAN AND HAD NEITHER RELIGIOUS
NOR POLITICAL IMPORTANCE DURING THE CENTURIES IT WAS UNDER MUSLIM ROLE.
PALESTINIAN CLAIM ON JERUSALEM IS THEREFORE TOTALLY UNJUSTIFIED IN MY OPINION

Easy now stop shouting! The jews killed Jesus and now act like the nazis in thier treatment of palistians. Palistians throw stones and deficate in tombs while Israelies shoot and kill plus destroy homes, schools and infastructure to make life hard on the innocent more than the guilty.
