<p>TULKAREM, (PIC)&#8211; Palestinian MPs denounced president Mahmoud Abbas for declaring readiness to resume negotiations with Israel in a statement on Friday.</p>
<p>Hassan Khreisheh, the second deputy speaker of the Palestinian legislative council, considered Abbas’s statement concerning the possibility of holding a meeting with Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu if Tel Aviv released prisoners and allowed the Palestinian police to import weapons as &#8220;an attempt to return to negotiations”.</p>
<p>He added that the statement pointed to a clear retreat from all the conditions set for the resumption of negotiations, most importantly the halt of settlements&#8217; construction in the Palestinian territories.</p>
<p>Khreisheh told Quds Press on Saturday that &#8220;President Abbas&#8217;s statement reflected the Palestinian leadership&#8217;s state of hesitation and fear of the unknown, especially because of the crisis it is facing, so it is looking for ways to ensure its survival.&#8221;</p>
<p>For its part, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) expressed its refusal of direct negotiations with Israel, recalling that such an approach &#8220;had failed in the past period.&#8221;</p>
<p>MP Khalida Jarrar, a PFLP politburo member, said in an exclusive statement to Quds Press on Saturday that &#8220;the emphasis on the return to negotiations every now and then in case of the presence of certain conditions, is a repetition of the same previous mistakes.&#8221; </p>
<p>She said, &#8220;What is required is a halt to direct negotiations and to depend rather on the UN to compel the occupation to implement the international resolutions&#8221;.</p>
