NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Palestinian political activists in territories occupied in 1948 are unanimous in rejecting the resumption of direct peace talks that are only to Israel’s interest, Al-Jazeera Net website reported.
Direct negotiations are conducted under conditions set by Israel and the U.S., activists warned, while stressing the importance of preserving Palestinian national constants.
Israeli Arab member of Knesset Jamal Zahalka told the site that the Palestinian Authority's participation in direct negotiations on Israeli terms is a big scandal.
MP Talab al-Sani said Israeli attempts for Palestinians to acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state means acknowledging the Jews’ false claim to historical rights to the land as well as paving the way for the exchange of population and the completion of the events witnessed by the Palestinians in ‘48.
The Secretary-General of the Democratic Front for peace and equality (Hadash), Ayman Awda, said peace talks are frivolous without a framework or timetable, and “take Israel out of its international isolation.”
Hadash chairman Mohamed Baraka opposed rejecting the idea of a peaceful solution and backed the peace talks provided that there would be a framework and timetable. The talks should serve as a means and not a goal, and Palestinian resistance should be maintained, he added.
