Husseini says all Israeli settlements are illegal

Faisal El-Husseini, the member of the executive committee for the Palestinian Liberation Organization responsible for Jerusalem's file, stated that all the Israeli settlements are illegal and that he will demand during his meeting with Israeli Minister of Internal Security Shlomo Ben-Ami today to remove them all to guarantee a real peace.

He added that during his meeting today with Ben-Ami the Palestinian side will raise the "seige" issue being erected around Jerusalem and the settlements as well as the detainees.

El-Husseini also said in a special interview with the Egyptian Sawt al-Arab Radio that the Palestinian side "prepared files regarding these halted causes."
