In a statement to Palestine TV, Abu Rdeina revealed that President's tower in Sharm El-Sheikh or African Summit and International Socialist Conference was significant and fruitful, adding that President met number of leaders who participate in African Summit.

Abu Rdeina added that the entire region is at a cross road, but we advance seriously in negotiations that have not reached the desirable end.

Abu Rdeina pointed out that the continuity of meetings and Palestinian-American contacts negotiations are an important factor in this stage, because negotiations are done under American supervision, either through the US Secretary of State Condoleezza rice or meetings between President Abbas and US President Bush.

In response to a question about the establishment of a Palestinian state, Abu Rdeina said  'this is the goal which gains world's consent and this is what we heard during the tower. The entire world agrees on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and a two-state solution, but Israel is procrastinating and is not serious. Settlements  have negatively affected the peace process and settlements are real obstacles before negotiations and Israel should hold responsibility for the stumbling negotiations.'

Abu Rudeina stressed that the PNA is committed to international and Arab legitimacy , the Road Map and the two –state solution on the basis of the borders of the Fourth of June 1967.

   As for the internal Palestinian situation and dialogue, Abu Rudeina said that efforts were being made in this direction and that the President's initiative is available to begin a dialogue sponsored by the League of Arab States.
