Bardawil Warns PA Against Falling In Quagmire of Negotiations
GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Salah al-Bardawil, a Hamas leader, said that re-launching Palestinian-Israeli negotiations would lead to liquidating the Palestine cause.
Bardawil told the PIC on Saturday that resuming negotiations without pre-conditions according to US secretary of state John Kerry’s proposals would lead to liquidating the Palestine cause in return for personal gains for PA leaders in Ramallah.
He asked Fatah faction and Ramallah authority not to fall in the quagmire of negotiations.
Meanwhile, Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli minister of international affairs, strategy and intelligence, revealed that Palestinian conditions for a return to negotiations were not met. He said that there would be no settlement freeze and no negotiations based on 1967 borders.
He said in a statement to the Hebrew radio on Saturday that Israel would only release a number of Palestinian prisoners who had served long periods in Israeli jails.
The minister said that the PA committed to nine months of serious talks during which the PA would not table any complaint against Israel at the international forums.
