JERUSALEM, March 13, 2010 (WAFA)- Fateh’s Revolutionary Council member Dimitri Diliani, stated today, that the Arab economic power must be employed more effectively in the International arena to raise pressure on Israel to halt its destructive measures to the peace process.

Those measures, Diliani said, include Israel’s continuation of building illegal colonial settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territory, especially in Jerusalem.

Diliani stressed that global economy cannot afford any disruption in efforts to revitalize it, which makes of the Arab massive economic power, a very influential tool to encourage the world, especially the U.S. and the E.U to take serious measures beyond the usual condemnations toward the implementation of the U.N. resolutions regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and put an end to the illegal inhumane Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.

Diliani pointed, that the recent declaration by the Israeli government, in which it revealed plans for illegal colonial settlement activities in Jerusalem, along with the continuation of building the Apartheid Wall within the West Bank, in addition to the  prolongation of the Israeli siege on Gaza , draw one and only conclusion that the right wing extremist government of Israel is not concerned with peace efforts nor by the international political will to resolve the conflict through peaceful means on the grounds of relevant U.N. resolution.

This Israeli message of disregard to the Palestinian National rights is a clear defiance to the world’s vision  for peace in addition to being a practical form of rejection to the in-direct negotiations  and it should hit hard with the U.S. administration since massive illegal colonial settlement plans were announced at the time of V.P. Biden’s visit to the region to launch in-direct negotiation between the Palestinians and Israelis, he continued.

Diliani concluded with the question: “how could we negotiate, directly or in-directly over land that is consistently being eaten up by the Israelis? There is no point in that”.
