Netanyahu to Abbas: Don't bypass peace negotiations
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "all attempts from the Palestinians to bypass the direct talks by turning to international organizations will not move forward the real peace process."
In response to the announcement made earlier by PA President Mahmoud Abbas that he will declare independence unilaterally, Netanyahu said "We are expecting the Palestinians to abide by their commitment to the negotiations in good faith and without preconditions. A steady and secure peace process will only be achieved this way, and I hope we will return to this course full force soon." (Attila Somfalvi)
