Netanyahu’s Remarks Serves As A Death Penalty For The So-Called Peace Process 14 September 2010 Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative stated that Netanyahu’s insistence on the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and his refusal to halt settlement activity is an ultimate death sentence against the so-called peace process. Barghouthi said that what is going on is in fact confirming the validity of what was warned, which was to not engage in negotiations without a halt of settlement expansion, including in the Jerusalem area. The continuation of the negotiations under the Israeli calls for the recognition of a Jewish State and the continuation of expanding settlements is in fact used to cover up for the planned settlement expansion projects, stated Dr. Barghouthi. He assured that the correct action would be to refuse participating in this negotiation process without any settlement freeze and any clear terms of reference that emphasizes and support the rights of the Palestinian people.
