| Palestinians hail quartet settlement freeze call |
| 2010-03-20 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Israel must comply with the Middle East Quartet's call on Friday to halt settlement activity as a means to clear the way for peace negotiations, whereas Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that the Quartet's call harms the chances of peace. "The statement by the Quartet in which it urges Israel to freeze settlement activity, including natural growth, is very important but what is more important is that Israel should comply so that the peace process can restart," Abbas said in a statement. "The settlement issue is the essence of the problem," he added. |
