Israel, today, backtracked on the scheduled release of a group of Palestinian prisoners and called for the entire negotiation process to be reviewed.
Israeli officials alleged that the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas’ move to officially submit applications for membership at 15 UN bodies, had broken confidence in the negotiations.
The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, yesterday, restarted the application process, blaming Israel’s reluctance to release prisoners and attempts to lengthen the negotiation process.
The Israeli announcement came after, US Secretary of state held a lengthy meeting between Palestinian and Israeli actors, in an attempt to salvage the peace-talks.
