\r\n\tPLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi condemned Israel’s latest approval of the construction of 349 settlement units in occupied al-Quds and the demolition of Palestinian homes in Beit Hanina and Sur Bahir: “It is evident that Israel is isolating al-Quds from its Palestinian environment by means of apartheid walls, checkpoints and rings of settlements.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe Palestinian citizens of al-Quds continue to suffer at the expense of Israel’s policies of ethnic cleansing which include home demolitions, annexation of Palestinian land, and the revocation of al-Quds IDs,” she said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\t“Israel is engaging in the deliberate provocation of the Palestinians to drive them to leave the negotiations in protest of Israeli violations, and therefore be blamed for the destruction of the peace process,” added Ashrawi.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\t“Clearly, it is Israel and its violations of international and humanitarian law that constitute an Israeli attempt to ensure the failure of negotiations and the destruction of the two-state solution.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tIsraeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is deliberately sending a strong message to the United States, Europe and the rest of the world that it has no intention of adhering to international law and the will of the international community,” she added.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\t“Israel is not only capable of sabotaging the talks, but it is flagrantly destroying the chances of peace and stability throughout the region,” concluded Ashrawi.<\/p>\r\n
