Palestinians entangled with vicious circle of negotiations

Palestinian website, Qods Net says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and acting PA head, Mahmoud Abbas repeated their previous stance on the Palestinian issue in their recent speeches to the UN General Assembly, adding their remarks have offered no glimmer of hope for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

“Abbas delivered a copy-cat of his previous UNGA stances, calling settlement building and street executions as a spoiler for the two-state solution,” Qods Net said, downplaying Abbas’ offer to designate 2017 as the year of end of occupation.

The website also reprimanded Abbas for his boasting tine over the PA recognition of Israel in 1993.

It also described it as ironical that Abbas pins hope in a potential UN anti-settlement resolution while Netanyahu called the UN a joke.

“In the past two decades, Palestinians have been shown a mirage of peace in return for repeated failures amid a vicious circle of negotiations with Israel,” it said, adding the developments in the Palestinian issue provides sufficient evidence that the option of anti-Israeli resistance is rightful, especially armed resistance.

The anti-occupation “intifada has once again showed the unity of nation and the integrity of Palestine,” he said.
