Netanyahu Seeks ‘Palestinian Surrender’, Not Peace: Erekat

RAMALLAH (Kayhan Intl.) – Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t seek peace with the Palestinians but wants them to surrender to his plans, a senior Palestinian official said on Tuesday.
Saeb Erekat, the secretary-general of Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee, made the remarks in response to Netanyahu’s statement.
Netanyahu said in a joint press conference held on Monday with Jared Kushner, senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, that "if we have to wait for the Palestinians to make peace, we will have to wait forever.”
"If Netanyahu and Kushner want to make peace with the Palestinians with al-Quds and its holy sites under Israel’s sovereignty, they must wait until after the end of time and life,” Erekat said in an emailed press statement.
Erekat noted that the Zionist prime minister, "who heads a government of settlement and apartheid, does not want peace, but wants the Palestinian to surrender under the Israeli apartheid regime.”
He also said that "the logic behind the U.S.-Israeli attitudes is that the Palestinians must accept being defeated, or in other words, to strip them of their legitimate rights in favor of the Israeli illegal settlement.”
Direct talks between the Zionist regime and the Palestinians stopped in 2014. The Palestinians rejected the new U.S. plan in the Middle East or the so-called "the deal of the century” which caused a huge outcry in the region.
The deal paves the way for annexation of more Palestinian lands.
The Zionist regime’s occupation on Monday ordered two Palestinians to demolish their homes in al-Quds’ Beit Hanina neighborhood, Arab48 reported.
The demolitions of the Palestinian homes were ordered under the pretext that they lack the necessary building licenses.
Since the start of 2020, Arab48 news website said, the regime has issued 650 demolition orders against Palestinian facilities in occupied al-Quds.
The regime has occupation demolished 25 Palestinian structures in occupied territories and displaced 32 Palestinians in the last two weeks, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) revealed.
