Ameen Abu Warda - IMEMC News, 3/08/07. Legislator Mustafa Barghouthi, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, has stated that Israeli seeks normalization with other Arab countries before finding a solution to the Palestinian cause, a desire that conceals a wish to ignore and even liquidate the desire of the Palestinian people.
Dr. Barghouthi commented on the US foreign minister Condoleezza Rice’s visit to the area, arguing that that Israel seeks to exploit the meeting to normalize relations with other Arab countries and to dissolve the Palestinian cause.
Dr. Barghouthi stated that Olmert hopes the U.S. will exert its efforts to guarantee the collusion of Saudi Arabia and other Arab Gulf States in the continued occupation of the Palestinian territories, arguing that Israel will use the opportunity to illegally appropriate more Palestinian-owned land.
In addition to this, Dr. Barghouthi argued that the real purpose of the proposed negotiations was to circumvent the Arab Peace Initiative, stating that any real and just solution must concentrate on identifying the timeframe in which the occupation would end and an independent Palestinian state could be established.
