Palestinians Reject Interim Peace Deal
(Telegraph-UK) Mark Weiss and Richard Spencer - Palestinian leaders have rejected suggestions by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, that an "interim peace agreement" might be reached after the failure of direct talks between the two sides. Nabil Abu Rudeina, an aide to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, made it clear that an interim agreement was not an option. Netanyahu told Israel's Channel 10 television that he was ready to "go all the way" if the Palestinians were serious, but "there could be a situation in which talks with the Palestinians hit a brick wall over the issues of Jerusalem and the right of return [for refugees], and in that case the result would be an interim agreement."
