JERICHO, March 5, 2012 (WAFA) – PLO Executive Committee member Saeb Erekat Monday said that Israel must commit to requirements for peace proposed by any party to achieve peace in the Middle East, according to a statement issued by his office.
He said following a meeting with US Consul General in Jerusalem Daniel Rubinstein that peace and stability cannot be achieved by sounding the drums of war.
Peace, he added, demands to stop dealing with Israel as a state above the law and to compel it to accept the peace requirements, namely accepting the two state solution on the 1967 borders, halting all settlement activities, including in East Jerusalem, and release of prisoners, particularly those arrested before 1994.
