Credit: Reuters/Amr Abdallah Dalsh By Manuela Badawy UNITED NATIONS | Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:39pm EDT UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas vowed on Saturday to do everything possible to make peace negotiations with Israel succeed and avoided any direct threats to break off the talks over settlements. In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Abbas said the Palestinians would "exert every sincere effort" to reach a peace agreement with Israel within a year. He did not refer to Sunday's expiry of an Israeli freeze on new settlement construction in the West Bank. However, he made clear that Israel would have to cease all settlement activities if the direct negotiations with Israel are to succeed. "Israel must choose between peace and the continuation of settlements," he said. Abbas has repeatedly threatened to break off the fragile negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the settlements. The U.S.-supervised talks are aimed at reaching a peace agreement within a year. Netanyahu, whose rightist coalition government includes pro-settler parties, has so far deflected U.S. President Barack Obama's pleas to extend the freeze. But he has also said renewed construction in the settlements might be on a reduced scale. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Abbas on Friday in New York to persuade the Palestinians to remain in the talks. "The discussions are pretty intense right now," said Jeffrey Feltman, U.S. assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs. "We are urging Israel to extend the moratorium and we are also making clear to the Palestinians that we do not believe that it is in their interest to walk out of the talks." EGYPTIAN WARNING It was not clear if Clinton and Abbas planned to meet again before the Palestinian leader heads back to the Middle East. A U.S. official who spoke on condition that he not be identified said he did not expect a Clinton-Abbas meeting on Saturday. Israel has told the Palestinians to come to the negotiating table without preconditions. Abbas told the 192-nation General Assembly the Israelis need to take a number of steps in addition to halting settlements, including ending the blockade of the Gaza Strip and dismantling its West Bank barrier. "Our demands for the cessation of settlement activities, the lifting of the siege and an end to other illegal Israeli policies and practices do not constitute arbitrary preconditions in the peace process," he said. "Israel's implementation of these obligations and commitments will lead to the creation of the necessary environment for the success of the negotiations and will give credibility to the final agreement reached," he said. 1 2 Next World United Nations Comments See All Comments (5) | Post Comment Sep 25, 2010 1:32pm EDT I have an idea to keep everybody at the table. If Israel continues to build settlements, then the US cuts all aid and stops selling any military equipment to Israel. Until Israel finds a peaceful way forward. I understand that Jews bow to no one but God, maybe God will provide them with F16s. drmorocco Report As Abusive Sep 25, 2010 1:46pm EDT Abbas speaks for only half the Palestinians. Hamas wants nothing but the destruction of Israel. Thus making Abbas useless USAalltheway Report As Abusive Sep 25, 2010 2:07pm EDT Talking to Abbas is like talking to the Queen of England. No power just a prestigious position. Palestinians chose to give Hamas their government. Now they’re reaping the consequences. Cryos Report As Abusive Sep 25, 2010 2:15pm EDT Do the Palestinians pledge to stop all settlement activity as well as demanding the Israeli’s do it? The land in Gaza and the “West Bank” is owned by no one in accordance with the League of Nations and the UN. So, if one side can’t build, neither can the other. Gunslinger Report As Abusive Sep 25, 2010 4:41pm EDT This is only the current excuse to stop negotiations. History teaches us that any Palestinian leadership will refuse any peace agreement. Peace and prosperity will come to the Palestinian people only when they demand it from themselves. tergen Report As Abusive See All Comments (5) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
