Palestine asks Israel to resume negotiations

Palestinian presidential advisor Nabeel Abu Rodinah said that Israel must carry out UN resolutions on the Palestinian and the Syrian tracks.

He said that the negotiations with Israel stopped due to the Israel delegation's withdrawal from negotiations despite of the fact that Israel refused to release Palestinian detainees, knowing that the Sharm El-Sheik agreement was signed by the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat states as a goal the application of UN resolution N 242. He said the gaps between the two sides are still deep.

He assured that the gaps between the Palestinian and the Israeli negotiator are still deep and need more time.
