(Jpost).The Prime Minister's Office blasted top Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat
for a meeting he held with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki,
saying it stands in stark contrast to the Palestinian refusal to negotiate
with the Netanyahu government.
"The Palestinian side has refused to allow the resumption of peace talks by
placing pre-conditions on such a resumption," said Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu's spokesman Mark Regev, referring to the Palestinian demand that
Israel declare a total settlement freeze and accept a two-state solution
before negotiations can be renewed.
"It appears, however, that they have no qualms and place no pre-conditions
upon dialogue with the most extreme and violent enemies of peace."
