Saeb Ereqat: Over the Years, Israel Has Gradually Withdrawn from Its Positions; Therefore, We Have No Reason to Hurry
In a June 25, 2009 interview with the Jordanian daily Al-Dustour, Palestinian Authority negotiations department head Saeb Ereqat said that the previous Israeli government, under Ehud Olmert, had offered PA President Mahmoud 'Abbas territory equal in size to 100% of the land occupied in 1967, by means of a land swap. Ereqat explained, however, that the PA would not agree to a land swap before Israel recognized the Palestinians' right to sovereignty over all the territory occupied in 1967. He added that there had been a steady erosion in Israel's position over the years, to the point that it had recently offered the Palestinians 100% of the territory; therefore, the Palestinians had no reason to rush into accepting the Israeli proposals. He stressed that the Right of Return and monetary compensation for the refugees were not mutually exclusive, and that the Palestinians would insist on receiving both.
Addressing the issue of Hamas, he said that nobody was asking it to recognize Israel, but that any government in which Hamas was a partner would have to recognize Israel and the commitments undertaken by the PLO.
Ereqat stated further that the Palestinians were acting in full coordination with Jordan and keeping it informed of all Israeli proposals and of their replies to these proposals. Regarding Iran, he said that it did not pose a threat, as was frequently claimed.
Following are excerpts from the interview:

Det hela påminner lite om den världsvida världskyrkans eftergifter gentemot antikrist varav hitler och andra antisemiter var en verklig antikristlig periods början.Hitler som i vetenskap och teknik helt kastade etiken överbord och började fördärva mera än vad som var honom lovligt. "När Jag bara var lite arg så hjälpte de till att Ytterligare fördärva";ungefär så säger Herren i Den heliga skrift.
P.S Nya himlar och en ny jord i all ära men med det gamla gaget i bagaget kommer ingen dit. Tro bättringspredikan i kraft av Tron dopet och den heliga nattvard samt Ordet som kommer att leva i ditt troende hjärta av Jesu Nåd och förlåtelse.Amen mvh Ulrik Fagerholm
