Four Palestinians Killed, Four Injured in Gaza

Abu Rdeina: Former US-Israeli Understandings on Colonies Illegal Date : 25/5/2009 Time : 15:38 RAMALLAH, May 25, 2009 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Presidency Spokesperson Nabil Abu Rdeina said, Monday, that the understandings between former Israeli Government and US Administration regarding the continuity of colonies construction are 'illegal and violate the international Law.' “Colonization activities should be stopped once and forever to pave the way for the resumption of negotiations which might come up with real results,” Abu Rdeina said, commenting on media reports that Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is seeking an understanding with the current US Administration to let Israel keep its colonies’ 'natural growth'. He also stressed the necessity that Israel must stop activity including what Israel calls the natural growth in all colonies, including those in Jerusalem. Abu Rdeina said that President Abbas would demand a halt of Israeli colonial activities during his meeting with US President Barack Obama, calling for an urgent intervention from the US if it is seriously determined to achieve an acceptable and just solution.
