Sep 17, 2010 10:17 Moscow Time
Palestinians have again threatened with pooling out from the ongoing direct talks with Israel if the Jewish State resumes the construction of settlements on the West Bank.
This came in a statement yesterday night by the Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki.
The current moratorium on Jewish settlement construction expires on the 26th of this month. Israel, although repeatedly urged by the world community to prolong the moratorium, has so far signalled no intention to do so.
Moscow urges continuation of Mideast peace talks

Moscow has urged the continuation of direct Israeli-Palestinian parleys after September 26, when Tel Aviv’s settlement construction moratorium is due to expire.
In a statement on Thursday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov pointed to the necessity of going ahead with the talks, which, he said, “are much better than their absence”.
Wednesday witnessed the beginning of the direct talks in Jerusalem between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The sit-down failed to contribute to tackling the Middle East peace talks, which are yet to see Israel freeze its settlement construction in the West Bank.
Clinton Repeats 'Comprehensive Peace' Hopes, Mitchell in Syria

(Israelnationalnews.com) United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeated a call this week for “comprehensive peace” that goes beyond Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Clinton was in Israel for the second round of talks between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
“We believe that it is not only important to pursue the Palestinian- Israeli negotiations but a comprehensive regional peace consistent with the heart of the Arab Israeli peace initiative,” she stated.
U.S. envoy George Mitchell met Thursday with Syrian President Bashar Assad and Foreign Minister Walid Muallem. Earlier in the week French envoy Claude Cousseran was in Damascus to meet with Assad and push Israel-Syria peace talks.
Assad expressed skepticism that his country and Israel would reach a deal.
Syria has demanded that Israel hand over the strategic Golan Heights, which were under Syrian control between 1948 and 1967, and have been in Israeli hands since the Six Day War. Israel officially annexed the area in 1981.
Syria has demanded that Israel agree in principle to relinquish the Golan before talks begin, a demand that Israel has rejected. Israeli leaders say Syria must ends its ties with Iran and with PA-based terrorist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

And the PA demands that Israel agree in principle to relinquish Judea and Samaria before talks begin. So what to talk about? Well, they want the whole Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. And that's their idea of the “peace” talks.. It is expressed in their song:
PA TV Song: Pull the Trigger - Redeem the Country

(Israelnationalnews.com) Palestinian Authority TV broadcast, in the midst of the current round of direct peace talks between Mahmoud Abbas and Binyamin Netanyahu, a PA dance group performing and singing about conquering Israel. The song describes Israelis as "despicable" and an "invading enemy," and declares that "the Palestinian revolution awaits [them]." Israeli cities Lod, Ramle, and of course Jerusalem are presented as Palestinian cities to be liberated via Jihad. The song then calls upon PA Arabs to "Pull the trigger."

The following is a transcript and description of the performance:
Band member recites a poem: "Fight, brother, the flag will never be lowered,
the torches will never die out."
On [Mt.] Carmel (in Israel) and in the [Jordan] Valley,
we are rocks and streams.
In Lod (Israeli city) we are poems, and in Ramle (Israeli city) - grenades.
We, my brother, shall remain the revolution of the fighting nation."
Vocalist sings: "The Zionists went out from [their] homelands,
compounding damage and enmity.
But the Palestinian revolution awaits [them].
The orchard called us to the [armed] struggle.
We replaced bracelets with weapons.
We attacked the despicable [Zionists].
This invading enemy is on the battlefield.
This is the day of consolation of Jihad.
Pull the trigger.
We shall redeem Jerusalem, Nablus and the country."
