RAMALLAH, April 18, 2009 (WAFA)- Palestinian Presidency Spokesman, Nabil Abu Rdaina condemned, this morning, the violations committed by the Israeli Occupation Forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,  and the Jewish colonizers’ provocations to Palestinian citizens, especially in Jerusalem.

In response to the death of three Palestinian citizens in the last 24 hours by Israeli fire, Abu Rdaina said that this was a dangerous escalation, and that it reflects the Israeli official policy, moving toward more extremism and discarding the peace process and the two-state solution.

Abu Rdaina demanded a halt of violence and Israeli criminal acts against innocent citizens, and demanded to stop all kinds of escalation and violations, especially in Occupied East Jerusalem, where house demolitions, and land seizing aimed at its Judaization are ongoing.

He also warned about the dangerous consequences of this escalation, and its impacts; as in the deterioration of circumstances and creation of tension that does not help the international and American efforts for peace pay off.
