when the late palestinian president yasser arafat visited moscow our nations have enjoyed good relations it's not only the result of the role that russia plays in the region but also russia is a great power a member of the united nations security council and a member of the quartet of middle east mediators this is why we focused so much on strengthening our relations and why we expect russia to play a positive role recently the quartet took a number of steps calling for negotiations without doubt we coordinate our position with russia and several other countries to get an understanding of where palestine stands what it should do and what it shouldn't. this is why we visited the u.k. germany and have now come to russia we hope that the talks with israel currently underway in jordan will result in a positive outcome but if they fail we would need to have a list of further steps to be taken and it put it together that action list we want to listen to the opinions of the countries i mentioned earlier and russia in particular.

some time ago you said that it was leaning towards israel. that revealed many contradictions several areas of the. talks that apparently. these meetings revealed a lot of contradictions in oppositions those were talks just for the sake of talking unfortunately but we don't want to miss a single opportunity we've never stopped negotiating with israel even with george mitchell as the u.s. envoy we continued an exchange of opinions at the meetings held within exploratory or indirect talks we have never shown and mutual contacts to be honest we've never broken off negotiations with israel.

there were no grounds for negotiations because of israel the basis for negotiations is the acceptance of the nine hundred sixty seven borders or any other positions agreed by both parties it's not a unilateral stance it's the position of the international community of course it's closely linked with the issue of security which is a huge problem for us. we don't accept the israeli concept of security it will be another forty years of occupation of our legitimate territory this concept name is further occupation. criticised for saying there's no point in continuing the twenty year. pressure from the u.s. and israel however you have repeatedly. saying that there is no alternative to. why. there is no alternative to peace talks at the moment we're assessing our testing the ground for future talks to

comply with the quartet's demands. of the negotiations are just a way to gain time. talking about solutions or agreement. means they want to preserve the status quo something we completely reject all illegal settlements all illegal buildings must be torn down and removed from palestinian territories perhaps the israelis have a different vision although in the past they have left their illegal settlements on the sinai peninsula. and returned back to their borders we have the same situation in lebanon and believe some of the settlements there even with that they want to preserve the existing situation of the palestinian territories and to convince the international community to accept that they want to make ask. just vision we will

never accept it. netanyahu said that he gave you a twenty one point detailing the israeli position by doing so he refused to meet in ramallah despite. the document. i met him three times in september two thousand and ten the first time in washington on an invitation from president obama and the second time in sharm el sheikh out of the third time we met was on the twenty fifth of september at his house in jerusalem where we talked for four hours and discussed all the issues the talks ended with no positive results no discontinuation development of the occupied territories no changes to security policies the israeli way they intend to occupy the west bank and the heights for another forty years. this is colonial policy and colonialist a lodging at this is not the logic of a person interested in constructive talks and peaceful coexistence with his

neighbors i don't refuse to make but i need to have a good reason now i guess twenty one point proposal and what are these twenty one are they just some headlines or indeed a list of twenty one issues that need to be addressed by our peoples. today we only need to discuss and solve two issues borders. why would we want to add more issues to the agent did he think it was some sort of a secret but it's no news and it's not of any practical use either it is not appropriate for a prime minister to submit this way a document that simply enumerates some issues such as borders security the jewish state etc with no clear indication of what is actually expected of the other party . you think current events in the arab world could strengthen the opposition. and help the palestinian issue internationally.

still no clear position common to all arab countries yes there are revolutionary changes taking place but it will take time to figure out what results they brought about the countries we want to work with in order to strengthen our position with time to get back on their feet and build their states under the new conditions however the general arab stance on the palestinian issue has not changed and the people who lead these revolutions people who supported the palestinians in their pursuit of in the end and these people have not changed what has changed is their attitude towards their leaders and their governments but that is their internal matter and we don't get involved the arab stance on the palestinian issue has remained the same. mr president. that you wouldn't take any action at international level until twenty six if the talks according to. you have one president

a diplomatic pressure on israel to make. it rather like south africa when the international community. we want to live together to co-exist with israel but at the same time we want to stop its illegal settlements on the land that doesn't belong to it we want to tell the world that israel's policy is unlawful their occupation of our land is illegal but we're not saying that israel as a state doesn't have a legal right to exist so the diplomatic campaign that's underway is illegal we have already been recognized by one hundred thirty and i'm sure that in the near future the list will grow to include a hundred fifty hundred sixty countries. to continue this work what is going to happen after the twenty sixth at the beginning february the arab peace initiative follow up committee will hold where we'll present. full report on what has been

done and what's to be done now as well as our vision of the future of the peace process will work out of the final positions based on the committee's decision but we don't want to tie up all of our plans there needs to be a certain order. to. dress to the u.n. general assembly. but as it. wasn't enough to convince nine members of the. u.n. membership. to continue with the talk if you agreed to the. observer. nation security council we received eight votes that we need nine still may not upset everyone is pressured to vote against our membership today we refuse the idea of being a nonmember observer state everything is possible i'm not saying that it can't be

everything is possible if you ask me about the official position of the palestinian state on this issue i'll give you the answer we seek full membership or we will apply for a second time etc until we get our bid approved. in a number of arab countries are now obsessed with the idea of overthrowing existing regimes. mr president why did they attempt to create a national unity government and in failure. what has been achieved in terms of social and political reforms. first of all our attempts didn't. we don't wish to create a national unity government but my personal suggestion was to create a neutral transitional technocratic government a non aligned government or comprised of experts that would work until the election that's not a national you. the government and its creation is already underway we have

achieved agreement on many issues and i sensed some significant political improvement during the talks in cairo when hamas delivered an agreement there was an abyss between us earlier but now they've agreed to switch to a nonviolent standoff mode with no more bloodshed they agreed with the requirement of a stablish in the nine hundred sixty seven border line to run in the election in may this year and that means we can talk about progress here our committees are working hard to implement these plans as soon as possible and reforms are underway and the government will be a transitional one. that i think you very much for being with. every possible successor in the implementation of the political reward and creation of a palestinian state.

culture is that so much excitement in which of course my money comes up here today is the biggest and most expensive elections money can buy this is how many american see what are called political action committees or super pacs. wealthy british style. sometimes the tirelessly. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on r g. comes. the

four time champion version better a trademark backhand winner clinched the second set for the swiss and drew the applause wife mary kom who was watching from the stands better than swiftly served out the third as the world number three reached his thirty first consecutive quarter final at a grand slam event. and waiting for federer in the last eight is one more example paltrow after their argentina rolled past philipp kohlschreiber of germany. while women's defending champion kim clijsters played through an ankle injury and save for match points to stun french open champion not a village in contemplated retiring after landing the three year old in the first set which won and then went on to take a sixty two to eat in the second set so i break but a jubilant clijsters fought back to take the third six for. the belgian will next face top seed carolyn wozniak e who defeated serbia's here then
