Palestine: Abbas Calls on Washington to "Draw Red Lines" for Israel

Despite last week's proposal of the Quartet (US, European Union, United Nations, and Russia) that Israel reopen the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority headquarters in East Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman declared on Sunday that Israel would not make any more gestures to the Palestinians: "We expect the Palestinians to make gestures to us. First and foremost, they must stop their incitement against Israel in the international arena."

Later on Sunday, the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas intervened and called on Washington to draw "red lines" for Israel. Abbas reiterated their demands on a full halt in the Israeli settlement construction the West Bank.
