 THE Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) called for an end to all attacks that "harm the national interest" after a meeting of its executive committee today. "The committee gave its full support to Abu Mazen's inauguration speech to stop all military acts that harm our national interest and give an excuse to the Israeli position which is aimed at sabotaging Palestinian stability and the implementation of the roadmap," the executive committee said in a statement. PLO chairman Mahmud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, was sworn in as head of the Palestinian Authority yesterday. During his inauguration speech, Mr Abbas criticised attacks by militants as hampering efforts to "bring about the calm needed to enable a credible, serious peace process". |
