- PALESTINE
- Chief Palestinian spokeswoman to the Middle East peace talks,
- Hannan Ashrawi, said in Washington that Jewish settlement activity
- continues in the Occupied Territories despite a recent announcement
- by new Israeli Prime Minister, Itzhak Rabin, of freezing such
- settlements.
-
- Ashrawi said that a document circulated by the Palestinian
- delegation at the sixth round of Arab-Israeli talks in Washington
- denounced the confiscation of hundreds of acres of Arab land. She
- added more than 100,000 [apartments, apparently. Ed] have been
- completed for Jews in East Jerusalem and the West Bank city of
- Nablus since Rabin took office last July.
-
- The document also points out that since the beginning of the Middle
- East peace talks in Oct last year, some 44 kms of Arab land have
- been confiscated and about 10,000 houses for Jews have been
- finished.
-
- Ashrawi said that the continuation of the settlement policy
- seriously undermines the peace process. (R. Havana 8/29)
