Abbas Holds Israel Responsible for Hindering Negotiations

Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA

MOSCOW, January 22, 2012 (WAFA) – President Mahmoud Abbas Sunday held Israel responsible for any delay or disruption in negotiations, if it did not agree to explore all opportunities to reach a resolution to achieve coexistence.

Abbas, following his meeting with the Chief of the Council of Russian Muftis, Sheikh Rawi Ayn Al-Din, told reporters that he heard a joint statement on Saturday by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the British Prime Minister David Cameron clearly blaming the Israeli policy.

Abbas stressed that the Palestinians are committed to pursuing negotiations as the only way to reach a solution, noting that negotiations are facing enormous Israeli obstacles; mainly the settlements activities and the daily settlers’ attacks targeting Palestinians, which included the arson of four mosques in the West Bank.
