The Palestinian Authority has set new conditions for agreeing to extend the peace talks with Israel after April, PA officials in Ramallah said Thursday.
The new Palestinian conditions include Israeli recognition of the pre-1967 lines as the future borders of a Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital and the release of 1,200 Palestinian prisoners, the officials said.
The Palestinians are now demanding that Israel release three senior prisoners: Marwan Barghouti, Ahmed Sa’adat and Fuad Shobaki.
The new conditions also include a complete cessation of settlement construction, PA sovereignty over Area C in the West Bank, a halt of Israeli military operations in PA-controlled territories and “reunion” permits for 15,000 Palestinians.
Other conditions include reopening the border crossings and lifting the blockade on the Gaza Strip, as well as the return of Palestinian gunmen who were deported to the Gaza Strip and Europe after they seeking shelter in the Nativity Church in Bethlehem.
