PLO: Israel carrying out wide settlement campaign

The leader of the political department of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Farouk Kadoumy, has stated that Israel is executing a wide settlement campaign accompanied by the demolition of Palestinian buildings, seizure of Palestinian houses, and confiscation of Palestinian lands.

Kadoumy has said that the Palestinian people are suffering from an Israeli financial and political siege. He added that Palestinian participation in the peace process is an essential matter.

Kadoumy has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu of practicing terrorism, suppression and provocative policies. He only wants security cooperation, yet he wants to keep the land, Kadoumy said.
