Ramallah – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says he has warned Israel’s prime minister that he’ll quit peace talks unless Israel extends a curb on settlement construction.

Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched negotiations at a summit in Washington last week.
A 10-month freeze on settlement housing ends Sept. 26, and Netanyahu is under pressure from hardline allies to resume construction.
Netanyahu has not said what he will do. He told his Cabinet on Sunday that creative solutions are needed to make the talks succeed.
However, Abbas told PLO activists in Libya late Saturday that “if the freeze period is not extended by the end of the month, there will be no negotiations.” Abbas says he made that clear to Netanyahu.
wow look at the 2 in the pic they look like real buddies………. we should learn from abbas to be strong and chutzpadic
Let him quit – he was never for peace anyway!!
Let the PA honor all of their commitments first.
Let the first demand be that PLO recognizes that the State of Israel is the Homeland for the Jews. That will stop Abbas dead in his tracks.
i would also say let him just quit but i do not what would be worse if he quits or if he stays in peace talks (what do we want hamas or fatah or r”l both!)
yes,please,for G-d’s sake do the jews a favor and quit!!!!!!!!
