No Israel Talks "In Any Format," Palestinians Insist
(AFP) "There will not be any negotiations with Israel, in any form - direct, indirect or parallel - without an end to settlement," said Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior member of the central committee of Fatah, the party of President Mahmoud Abbas. He spoke from Cairo, where Arab League foreign ministers on Wednesday had ruled out a resumption of negotiations without a "serious offer" that would ensure their success. Meanwhile, Dennis Ross, a senior advisor to President Obama, held talks in Israel with top defense officials.
