Israel abducts of 8 Palestinian ministers, parliamentarians

Head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization negotiations department, Saeb Ereikat condemned Thursday the Israeli abduction of 8 ministers and 20 Parliamentarians.

"This crime is an Israeli attempt to destroy the Palestinian Presidency, the Government and the Legislative Council," Ereikat said.

He added that the Israeli crime is a "new chapter" in the international relations in which Israel would exchange a soldier for ministers.

Ereikat affirmed that the Israeli arrests of ministers and legislators in much bigger than the capture of the Israeli soldier.

He described the Israel attacks as "reoccupying" and an attempt to control the details of the Palestinian life and individuals.

Head of Negotiation Department asserted that the Israeli Government launches war on the Palestinian people and tries to impose the policy of dictation and to destroy the negotiations.

He called on the international community and to immediately intervene for ending the Israeli war.
