RAMALLAH, November 14, 2011 (WAFA) - Hanan Ashrawi, member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Executive Committee, said Monday “the success or failure of negotiations depends on the Quartet committee’s well to commit to the clear and known peace requirements; make Israel commit to international law and 1967 borders and stop settlement activities as well as determine a binding timeframe,” according to a press release.
Ashrawi added, “If the quartet can commit to these requirements, it means it started dealing with the content not the form, away from dealing with Israeli maneuvers.”
She stressed on the importance of putting pressure on Israel to make it commit to the peace requirements and not to put pressure on the Palestinians.
She affirmed that there are no signs of dealing with Israel seriously in light of America’s acquisition over the peace process, US forthcoming elections and the Israeli arrogance challenging the entire world.
She called on the international community to work on putting pressure on Israel to make it commit to the international law rules and to stop unilateral breaches concerning East Jerusalem, settlement activities as well as to hold Israel accountable.
She said, “If the Israeli right-wing extremist government does not pay for its violations, and is not held accountable for its breaches, it will continue its racist occupational practices.” “If there are no real intentions to hold Israel accountable, then there is no meaning for any steps taken by the quartet in this context.”
