PLO Official: Palestinians 'Seriously Considering' To Declare Failure Of Peace Talks -- Jerusalem Post
Hanna Amireh accuses Israel of seeking to "win time" to "dictate the outcome of the talks"; slams Netanyahu's demand that Palestinians recognize Jewish right to homeland in Israel.
The Palestinians are seriously considering declaring the failure of the peace talks with Israel, a senior PLO official said Wednesday.
Hanna Amireh, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, said that this was one of the scenarios that were discussed during the last meeting of the Palestinian leadership.
Amireh accused Israel of seeking to “win time” and blame the Palestinians for the failure of the US-sponsored talks.
Israel, he said, is benefiting from the prolonged negotiations in order to “impose more facts on the ground and dictate the outcome of the talks.”
Amireh criticized Justice Minister Tzipi Livni for stating that the talks with the Palestinians may extend beyond the nine- month deadline set by the US Administration.
He said that Livini’s remarks were in violation of the agreement reached with the Americans.
