    Palestinians say Israeli move could kill peace process
    [ 2009-11-19 15:01 ]

     

    Palestinian leaders are warning Israel that its approval of 900 new housing units in a disputed area of Jerusalem may kill the peace process. The warning came after the United States condemned the Israeli decision. The Palestinians want Washington to toughen its approach on Israel.

    Palestinians say Israeli move could kill peace process

    The response from Palestinian officials contained no surprises after Israel said this week it would go ahead with construction of 900 new units in Gilo, a Jewish community in East Jerusalem.

    Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, told VOA the action threatens to kill the peace process.

    "This is a clear decision and a clear message, not just for Palestinians but for the American administration itself that Israel is not willing and is not ready to stop settlement activities and much more important than this, that they are not ready for peace," said Rudeineh.

    The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.

    The planned construction is on lands that Israel captured as part of its victory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The Jewish state later formally annexed East Jerusalem in a move that was not recognized by the international community.

    The Israeli Prime Minister's office is not commenting on the plans for expansion, but a statement on Tuesday said construction in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo is nothing new. It said Gilo is an integral part of Jerusalem and that building in the neighborhood has continued unabated for decades.

    On Wednesday, President Abbas' spokesman, Abu Rudeineh welcomed President Obama's criticism of the plans for new construction in Gilo. However, he said Washington needs to go further and toughen its stance or risk ruining the peace process.

    "The Americans should take seriously what is going on," he added. "The whole situation is deteriorating. The Americans this time should change their policy, the change which we have been promised by President Obama."

    President Obama, in his speech to the Muslim world in June, called for Israel to stop settlement expansion in the West Bank and allow for the establishment of a Palestinian State.

    Washington, however, angered the Palestinians this month when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised what she said were Israel's concessions for peace.

    Israel has offered to restrain construction on settlements in the West Bank, but has made no offers regarding construction in East Jerusalem.

    Israel considers all of Jerusalem its undivided capital.

    Palestinians' frustration over the stalled peace process has been rising in recent weeks. President Abbas has threatened to resign, and his government says it is pushing unilaterally for the declaration of a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that any such action will trigger unilateral steps from the Israeli side.
