PLO ends meetings with Israel

Secretary of the PLO Executive Committee Saeb Erekat announced yesterday the end of meetings with the Israeli occupation after Tel Aviv refused to commit to mutual agreements, insisting on continuing settlement expansions, invasions and its rejection of the French initiative.

Speaking to Palestine Voice, Erekat said: “The Central Committee had important recommendations in response to the Israeli position and they will be announced should they be approved in tomorrow’s meeting.”

The international efforts led by Paris aim to hold an international peace conference, he explained. He noted that invitations for a preparatory meeting slated at the end of this month were sent.

He stressed there would be “outcomes that force Israel to commit to international laws and end the occupation.”
