«We have to be realistic and see that this settlement issue is at the moment an issue that blocks the negotiations»
On Wednesday, EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said Israel’s continued settlement activity in the West Bank is the main obstacle to a resumption of the Mideast peace process.
Speaking after meeting with Karen Abu Zayd, the outgoing head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Ferrero-Waldner said the Quartet leading Mideast peace efforts, the United Nations, EU, Russia and the United States, would meet on the sidelines of the UN General assembly later in September to discuss the issue
Two days after Defense Minister Ehud Barak approved the construction of 455 news housing units in the West Bank, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday said Israel’s plans to continue building in settlements were «contrary to international law».
The secretary-general urges Israel to:
«Respond positively to the important efforts under way to create the conditions for effective Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and reiterates his call on Israel to stop all settlement activity, including natural growth, and dismantle all outposts erected since March 2001 in the occupied Palestinian territory».
My comment:
It is amazing how World leaders now brand Jews living in peace in Judea and Samaria as the obstacle to peace in the Middle East.
The same leaders do not even mention Radical Islam, and the need to renounce Muslim violence, accept the previous United Nation resolutions, and recognize the state of Israel`s right to exist.
Islam will agree to the argument that there was no «occupation» before 1967, still there was no peace between the Arabs and Israel. So how can the Jewish settlers be the obstacle to peace?
There has to be another reason for the origin of the Arab hostility?
If the Arabs did not recognize Israel´s right to exist prior to the six days war in 1967, why would the Arab nations do so if the Jews in the Biblical heartland of Israel pack up and go?
And where are they going to go, in the first place? Shall the Israeli Arabs also pack up and go?
The truth is that there is no common sense, neither any logic behind any of the «peace plans» promoted by the Islamic World. There is only Jew hate, that has it base in spiritual blindness and evil. And it will surely be judged by God of the Bible.
Joel 3:2
«I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land».
