RAMALLAH, December 4, 2011 (WAFA) - PLO Executive Committee member Saeb Erekat said the Palestinian Authority will not accept Israel taking parts of the international Quartet’s statement and leaving other parts out.

He told Voice of Palestine, in response to US demands to resume negotiations, that “the Quartet’s statement clearly states that both Palestinians and Israelis must present proposals concerning borders and security issues within 90 days.”

Erekat affirmed that the PA has submitted its proposal to the Quartet committee while Israel is still refusing to submit its proposal.

He added that the PA is ready to resume negotiations if the Israeli government stops settlement activities and accepts a two-state solution.

In reference to the meeting of the Quartet’s representatives on December 14, with the Palestinians and Israelis separately, Erekat said, “We will hear from the Quartet about the Israeli proposal on borders and security issues.”
