Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad urged the United States on Saturday to draw up a fresh plan aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, AFP reported.
"I call anew on the United States to come up with a plan and a timetable for its application that will contribute to put an end to Jewish settlements and Israeli offensives, and lead to serious negotiations," Fayyad was quoted as saying.
The Palestinian leader made the comments in a speech at the Qalandiyah refugee camp, near the West Bank city of Ramallah, the French news agency said.
"Israel is turning its back on international legitimacy," he was quoted as adding.
U.S. President Barack Obama is, in fact, expected to announce a diplomatic plan soon for renewal of the Middle East peace process.

A simple peace plan: "Palestinians will stop murdering the innocent".
An irrelevant peace plan: "America will force Israel to ________." This is pointless because Israel is not the problem.
