(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury - In interviews over the weekend, Yasser Abed Rabbo, secretary general of the PLO's executive committee, and Tawfik Tirawi, a senior Fatah official, called the current peace talks futile and said they would not even produce a framework agreement. Tirawi told Al Mayadeen, a Lebanon-based TV channel, "The negotiations won't lead anywhere," adding that Palestinians would not accept Kerry's framework deal. Abed Rabbo also said no Palestinian leadership can accept Kerry's formula for a framework deal. He said zero progress has been made in peace negotiations thus far and that it would be pointless to extend them.
