| Hat tip LGF RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Ahmed Korei, nominated to be "No! They need to continue their murders!" Laying down terms for accepting what many see as a poisoned chalice, Korei urged Israel to stop trying to isolate A boy whom they say was in the fighting Korei has delayed a decision on whether to accept Arafat’s nomination to replace Mahmoud Abbas, who quit on Saturday, leaving the fate of a U.S.-backed peace plan in the balance. The roadmap? Oh, that’s been torn for months. "I have told the Americans, Arabs, Russians...everybody, that this situation cannot continue. I will not be under the Israeli dictate-- ’do this and don’t do that’," he told Reuters. "They are too strict. "Stop those who purposely kill civilians."" He was referring to Israeli demands the Palestinian Authority crush militant groups, an obligation under the peace plan but a step which Palestinian officials say could sow civil war if Israel’s army maintains its grip on Palestinian cities. Jews need to survive too. Korei called for a cease-fire agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, rather than another unilateral truce by militants to ensure both sides keep their powder dry. The Palis won’t. He said Palestinian leaders were committed to co-existence with Israel under the "road map" peace plan outlining steps to end nearly three years of violence and create a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by 2005. |
