Palestinian minister denies cooperation protocol with Israel for youths and sports

Ahmed El-Yazegi, the deputy minister of youths and sports in Palestine, denied that a cooperation protocol was signed with Israel in the fields of youths and sports.

News agencies reported that El-Yazgi signed this protocol with his Israeli counterpart on margin of a youths conference that was held recently in Uruguay.

El-Yazgi said that signing a cooperation agreement with Israel could not take place until after Israel's withdrawal from all occupied Palestinian territories and establishing the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as a capital.
