De palestinska ledarna har redan länge vägrat förhandla med Israel. Men nu har Abbas "moderata" Fatah parti förklarat "krig" mot alla informella möten mellan palestinier och israeler.
"...Abdel Kader, a former PA minister for Jerusalem affairs, revealed that the Fatah
leadership has decided to foil all informal meetings between Israelis and
Palestinians.
“We will try to thwart any Palestinian Israeli meeting,
even if it’s held in Tel Aviv or west Jerusalem,” Abdel Kader said. “In Fatah we
have officially decided to ban such gatherings.”
He said that it was
inconceivable that such meetings are being held at a time when Israel continues
to build settlements and refuses to accept the pre- 1967 lines as the future
borders of a Palestinian state.
The PA leadership has repeatedly
announced that it won’t resume peace talks unless Israel accepts the two
preconditions – cessation of settlement construction and recognition of the
pre-1967 lines.
Abdel Kader criticized Nusseibeh for agreeing to meet
with Israeli academics, politicians and peace activists “in violation of
instructions by the Palestinian leadership” in the West Bank.
“These
meetings don’t produce anything [for the Palestinians] and are only used by
Israel for political gains,” the Fatah leader explained. “If all the meetings
the Palestinian leadership has had with the Americans, Europeans and Quartet
representatives haven’t achieved anything, how can these informal meetings lead
to any results?”
Abdel Kader also said that Israeli political parties
were trying to take advantage of informal
meetings to win the votes of “so-called moderates” in Israel. "
