Abbas spokesman: PA to resume talks if settlement construction stops

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina, said in response to US President Barack Obama's UN address that the Palestinians are prepared to resume the peace talks with Israel pending the fulfillment of a few conditions.

"We are willing to restart negotiations the moment that Israel stops settlement construction and agrees to discuss the 1967 lines," he said. (Elior Levy, Ramallah)
