RAMALLAH, May 13, 2012 (WAFA) – PLO Executive Committee said that Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to President Mahmoud Abbas’
letter did not include any clear answers regarding central issues
obstructing the peace process, Sunday said a statement by the committee.

The committee, during its meeting in Ramallah, said Netanyahu’s response to
Abbas’ letter did not answer major issues, mainly freezing settlement
activities especially in East Jerusalem, establishing a Palestinian state
within 1967 borders and committing to release Palestinian prisoners.

The statement affirmed the committee’s support to Abbas’ position stressing
the importance of solving the prisoners issue and ending their suffering by
responding to their demands.

The committee further called on the international Quartet to intervene to
overcome obstacles in the peace process’ way.
Abbas received Netanyahu's response through the Israeli envoy, Yitzhak
Molcho, in Ramallah on Saturday night.
