PA official: US failed in peace talks so PA must turn to the "international framework"
Headline: ”President: The crisis in the peace process is severe, and Greece and Europe have a central role in moving it forward”
“Palestinians have cast doubt on Washington’s ability to influence Israel, whose opposition to the settlement freeze led to the failure of the American efforts to renew the direct negotiations, three months after they began.
Abd Rabbo [Secretary of the PLO Executive Committee] cast doubt on the possibility of the American efforts succeeding, wondering: ‘How can those who did not succeed in persuading Israel to cease [building in the settlements] for even a limited time for the sake of serious negotiations, manage to commit Israel to a balanced solution on the basis of international legitimacy?...
This failure calls upon us once again to turn to the broader international framework.”
