Elkin: Palestinians unwilling for talks
None
Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin criticized the Palestinians on Wednesday, saying they are unwilling to talk peace despite a renewed push by the United States and Israel to restart long stalled negotiations.
Instead, Palestinians are opting to pursue a strategy of international recognition alone, Elkin said. "Abu Mazen hopes to continue the unilateral track as long as he thinks the international community supports it ... he has no reason to resume negotiations," he added. (AP)
