PA Wants Arab League to "Tie Its Hands" on Negotiations
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The Palestinian Authority was looking to Arab League foreign ministers who met on Wednesday in Cairo to "tie its hands" and not authorize even proximity talks until Israel freezes settlement construction, Israeli government officials said. The Arab ministers issued a statement saying, "The negotiation track between the Palestinians and Israelis is futile. There is no return to talks." The Arab ministers also agreed to go to the UN Security Council for a resolution against settlement construction and urged the U.S. not to block the move.
