And the Israeli government is doing its best to sabotage this,\u201d said Erakat.<br \/>On a more upbeat note, Erakat said the Palestinian position was being strengthened\u2014at least on the international front\u2014by Israel\u2019s hardline policies.<br \/> \u201cPalestinians have never been in a better position than there are now. I have never seen the international community fed up with the Israeli practices and Israeli behaviour that I am seeing now,\u201d he said.<br \/>Erakat said this had to be translated into action with international recognition of Palestinian statehood even without any unilateral declaration by the Palestinian side despite its institution-building efforts.<br \/> \u201cWhat we want to do is institution-building with the help of France, the US, Britain, Japan and other countries,\u201d he said.<br \/> \u201cWe want the state\u2019s independence declared by you, not us. We don\u2019t want to have a unilateral declaration of independence. If you want to preserve the two-state solution, (recognition\u2019s) the logical thing to do,\u201d he said.<br \/>Erakat said the Israeli government was failing to recognise that the United States now more than ever needed the support of Muslim countries despite its strategic alliance with the Jewish state.<br \/> \u201cThe US is a nation today with 200,000 kids in two Muslim countries,\u201d he said, referring to its troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.<br \/> \u201cTheir political borders are no longer with Canada, Mexico and the two oceans. Their borders are with Turkey, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, China, Pakistan, the Gulf, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.\u201d<br \/>Meanwhile, Palestinian security officials accused Israeli settlers of desecrating a mosque on Wednesday in the occupied West Bank. The settlers painted a Jewish star of David alongside the name of the Holy Prophet (SW) and set fire to two Palestinian cars outside the mosque in Huwara, near Nablus, according to the officials.<br \/>Israeli soldiers later showed up and repainted the defaced wall. They prevented journalists from taking photographs. In December, settlers vandalised another mosque in the northern West Bank village of Yasuf, torching Muslim holy books and spraying hate messages in Hebrew. The incident triggered clashes between villagers and Israeli troops.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The News<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAMALLAH, West Bank: Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat charges that Israel has become an \u201capartheid regime\u201d worse than during South Africa\u2019s darkest hours and is doing its utmost to sabotage any two-state peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
