Israel warns of "error" to negotiate with the Palestinians with preconditions

Jerusalem .- The Israeli Deputy Prime Minister, Dan Meridor, said Tuesday the Mideast Quartet-EE. UU., EU, UN and Russia that would be a "mistake" to delineate a framework of peace negotiations with the Palestinians in their next meeting in Berlin on 15. "I think it is to get the house through the roof.

The final details and parameters of an agreement must be negotiated, not pre-set as conditions for negotiations," he said in a meeting with journalists and diplomats in Jerusalem. "The paradigm is clear, we have accepted: a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine. That's what we agreed.

The remaining elements have to be negotiated, not dictated," he added. Meridor expressed his opposition to the base of the negotiation of the limits of the Palestinian state's borders are pre-Six Day War of 1967 (the occupied territories of East Jerusalem, Gaza and West Bank), with agreed land swaps, as have been previous attempts at dialogue.

Israeli Vice Premier calls for an initiative involving sovereignty of their country in large colonies in East Jerusalem and West Bank (where the majority of Jewish settlers) to end the paralysis of the dialogue, which lasts from September. Meridor, who also holds the portfolio by the Israeli secret service, believed to take as its starting point the pre-1967 borders is "wrong", but that their country has to "say something about where to" reach the limits of Israel .

"Leaving it open gives the impression that we want everything, and it is not true," he argued. After his speech, Meridor said that the borders of a future Palestinian state "will not be very far" from the Green Line, the internationally recognized virtual border, after the Six Day War. Asked about the possibility of peace negotiations with Syria in the current context of social protest, Meridor was pessimistic.

"Now what I think is in the mind of (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad is the survival of his regime, rather than peace in Israel," he said.
