Syria Exposes Netanyahu Speech As A Rejection For Peace Prerequisites
18 June 2009
DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- An official Syrian source has described the speech of Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu as reflecting a clear indication against peace in the region. The source in a statement carried by the official Syrian 'SANA' news agency on Tuesday called on the Arab and Islamic Nation to unite efforts and adopt necessary measures to confront the "Zionist destructive policy". He added that Netanyahu's emphsis on the Jewish nature of Israel and his rejection of the Palestinian refugees' right of return is a racist position aimed at abolishing the right of a people to exist on its own soil. The source opined that Netanyahu's conditions for peace constituted a clear rejection of objective fundamentals that could lead to peace in the Middle East in accordance with international legitimacy. He said that Netanyahu's speech makes it imperative on the Palestinians to return to national unity and to jointly work for the sake of preserving and restoring rights. The source asked the world community at large and the USA in particular to pressure Israel to end all forms of usurpation, to halt judaization of Jerusalem, to lift the siege on the Gaza Strip and to implement all international resolutions in a bid to reach a just and comprehensive peace. Netanyahu speech slap in the face of those who bet on settlement process The speech by Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu constituted a slap in the face of all those who bet on the a settlement process with the Israeli occupation authority, Ezzet Al-Reshseq, political bureau member of Hamas, said. He asked the PA in Ramallah and those who are called "moderate" Arabs to re-think their stands and to stop racing behind the peace mirage with an enemy that only nourishes on "murder and terrorism". Resheq, in a press release on Monday, said that Netanyahu's peace overture was based on peace for the IOA only that allows it to continue colonizing Arab lands and legitimatize its aggression and usurpation of Palestinian rights. He said that the American administration, European Union and the world community should re-consider their positions following Netanyahu's speech, which carried in between the lines an invitation for war and unrest in the Middle East. The internal Palestinian rift should be overcome right away on the basis of rights and constants away from negotiations and foreign intervention, the Hamas leader asserted. Resistance that defeated Israel in Gaza Strip and south Lebanon is the only means capable of restoring usurped rights, Resheq opined, asking the Arab and Islamic countries and peoples along with the free people of the world to support the Palestinian people's steadfastness in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. MP Yehya Mousa, for his part, said that Netanyahu's speech carried a direct call for war and hatred. He told Al-Alam TV network on Monday evening that the peace process was no longer valid as there was no peace partner in Israel. The lawmaker blamed the peace settlements for the current Palestinian division, saying that the rift started ever since those settlement initiatives were tabled. Mousa said that the most dangerous political event in the Palestinian question was recognizing Israel, which lured the IOA into asking for more demands such as recognizing the Jewish nature of Israel.
