PM Fayyad: Construction of Israeli Settlements Hinders Palestinian-Israeli Negotiations

 
 
RAMALLAH, June 2, 2008, (WAFA)- Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said that the accelerated construction of Israeli settlements largely hinders the current Palestinian –Israeli  negotiations.

In an interview, the PM Fayyad said he would keep trying to improve the life of the Palestinian people in the West Bank gradually regardless of the U.S.-backed peace efforts.

Fayyad hoped to break what he described as a culture of defeatism among the Palestinians, nurtured by decades of Israeli occupation and he instead to instill a sense of the possible.

'The way we end it (occupation) is by this ... spirit of positive defiance, to build despite the occupation, do what we can,' he told reporters in Ramalla Sunday.
