MP MANSOUR URGES PA TO HALT NEGOTIATION WITH ISRAEL

Ramallah, 22 Jumadil Awwal 1436/14 March 2015 (MINA) – Palestinian lawmaker Mona Mansour has urged the Palestinian Authority (PA) to halt all forms of negotiation and security cooperation with the Israeli occupation immediately.

“What is required of the Palestinian Authority (PA) at this stage is to cease all forms of negotiations with the Israeli occupation without delay,” MP Mansour stated Thursday, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA).

She called for renouncing the peace process and adopting the Palestinian people’s national options to pressure the occupation.

According to the lawmaker, who is a member of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc, the Palestinian people’s national options are mainly about adopting all forms of resistance against the occupation and ending the security cooperation with it.

She said the US and European pledges made to the PA are “mere tentative solutions” acting like “anesthetic injections” aimed at disrupting the practical options available to the PA.

Mansour condemned Israel’s use of its violations against the Palestinians and the Islamic holy sites in the West Bank and Jerusalem for electoral advantage.

She said that the settlement expansion activities in the occupied territories come as part of the Israeli plans to impose a new fait accompli on the ground.(T/P008/R04)
