Ramallah, March 11, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) - The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas rejected yesterday any peace negotiations after Israel's announcement to build 1,600 new apartments in east Jerusalem.
"Abbas has told Arab League Secretary General ,Amr Mussa, that he informed U.S. Vice President Joe Biden yesterday that he could not restart negotiations without the cancellation of the building of 1,600 housing units in east Jerusalem," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said.
"The Israeli measures must be stopped before any discussion on a resumption of talks, direct or indirect," said Mr. Moussa. "The talks have already stopped."
