'I suggested cutting off the negotiations, but Abu said not until we get all the terrorists released'

What a nice guy 'Palestinian' chief negotiator bottle washer Saeb Erekat is. He suggested to 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen that the 'Palestinians' end the 'negotiations' with Israel. But Abu Bluff would have nothing of it. Not until he gets all his terrorists released.

Abbas reportedly told Erekat that he wasn't willing to quit until the fourth prisoner release takes place at the end of the month. 

When asked if he had seen a document which proposes that the talks continue until the end of 2014, Erekat denied that he had seen anything of the sort, despite reports in the media that he had.

"I have not seen this paper, contrary to what you say in the Israeli media," he said.

"The gaps between the two sides is still very wide," he added.

Erekat claimed that the main obstacle to the talks was the issue of Israel as a Jewish state.

"We've talked about the core issues: Jerusalem, borders, refugees, water and prisoners," he said.

The negotiator continued and said that the 'character' of Israel, whether its a Jewish state of not, has not been decided upon.

"Our demand is that Israel recognize the state of Palestine within the 1967 borders. Then the two countries will live in peace and it will end the conflict between us," he claimed.

This is incredible. Four groups of the hardest of the hard core terrorists are being released.... for nothing. What could go wrong?
