Middle East Papers: Palstinians accuse al-Jazeera from sabotage

The data leak in the Middle East conflict poisons the climate in the Arab States: Palestinian President Abbas, the Gulf emirate of Qatar is accused of wanting to cripple the peace negotiations. Which the channel al-Jazeera has published the secret documents - and announces further revelations. Jerusalem - Following the spectacular revelations Middle East has accused the Palestinian Authority, the Gulf emirate of Qatar, headquarters of the Arab news channel al-Jazeera, targeted sabotage.


The aim of the reports was to the radical Islamic Hamas and the West Bank to bring to power, the Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Yasser Abed Rabbo, told reporters on Monday in Ramallah. Al-Jazeera did not report published without the blessing of the highest political office.

The aim of the "campaign" is to bring the Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas in disrepute and weaken, he said. "If the Palestinian Authority is weak, another political group willing to replace them," he said, referring to the arch rival of Abbas' Fatah, which since June 2007 alone in the Gaza Strip, Hamas ruling.

The Palestinian Authority accuses Qatar for a long time ago to support the Hamas specifically. Abed Rabbo accused the television station that he had deliberately taken out of context information in order "to smear" the reputation of the Palestinian Authority. Independent Palestinian organizations would have to objectively examine the controversial reports, he demanded.

Al-Jazeera began on Sunday with the publication of a collection of a total of about 1,600 secret documents. It is clear, among other things, that the Palestinians were ready to negotiate with the former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, 2008, Israel to cede nearly all the Jewish Quarter in the Arab eastern part of the city.

This would mean a massive shift away from the official attitude of the Palestinians and in stark contradiction to public statements made by the entire top leadership posts. Al-Jazeera wants to publish more than 1,600 documents in the coming days in full. According to the station is the largest release of secret papers on the Middle East conflict.

Some documents show that Palestinian negotiators signaled the Israeli side's willingness to give up, contrary to the public always maintained hard line on many neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Specifically, be it the neighborhoods where there are Jewish settlements, including French Hill, Ramat Alon and Gilo and part of the Armenian Quarter in the Old Town.

In addition, the chief negotiator for the Palestinians, Sajeb Erakat, have offered Israel, that for ten years only distributed annually to 10,000 Palestinian refugees, a total of 100,000 refugees to return to their homes should. The fate of some five million Palestinian refugees, as the status of Jerusalem, one of the main points of conflict in the Middle East peace negotiations.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the documents should "create confusion". He denied that it was around Palestinian documents, be they Israeli, the president said after meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo. The Palestinian leadership had nothing to hide, he quoted the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

"We have no secrets." Silence of the U.S. government's chief negotiator Erakat said the documents contained lies. The publications were also torn out of context and distorted. The Palestinian leadership will follow the publication and "if necessary to make public all documents of the Department of the negotiations" in order to allow their classification and interpretation.

Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israeli public radio, the documents proved the need for long-term interim solution instead of a definitive agreement with the Palestinians. "Proven, the government of Ehud Olmert not to conclude agreements, despite enormous concessions in turn, therefore, should a permanent interim solution to be found.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon of Olmert's Cabinet assessed the documents as evidence, however, that the Palestinians "real partner for peace" are. The U.S. government wants in spite of the documents to their accuracy, they could say anything, continue the search for a two-state solution, as State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said on Sunday on the Internet platform Twitter.

Radical Hamas attacked Palestinian Authority, the radical Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip has the power to be seen, confirmed and condemned the alleged willingness to make concessions to the autonomy government. The documents revealed the role of "trying to wipe out the Palestinian cause." The official position of the Palestinian National Authority, is that all Israeli settlements are illegal in the Six Day War in 1967, conquered the West Bank and in Jerusalem.

East Jerusalem Palestinians also claim as the capital of a future independent state. Also a right of return for displaced persons and their descendants is required.
