Abed Rabbo assures there are large disputes between Israel and Palestine

Palestinian Minister of Culture and Information Yasser Abed Rabbo, head of the Palestinian negotiating delegation in final status negotiations with Israel, stated that, "The gaps between the Palestinian and the Israeli sides are still big" and that the peace process and negotiations are getting into a new crisis unless there is an Israeli political decision to be close to the peace process terms of reference and commitment to carrying out international resolutions.

Abed Rabbo said tomorrow's negotiations in Washington will not achieve progress as long as there is Israeli obstinacy and no US pressure, as well as refusing principle of continuing the negotiations without achieving progress. He said there are borders for any negotiations and the Palestinians will not remain for their whole lives in the failed negotiations.
