<p>Mahmoud Zahhar said that no one can take the rights of Palestinians to return to their lands. </p>
<p>He added that Palestinians have four immutable rights: the right to their land, their beliefs, their holy places and their right to return. </p>
<p>Zahhar called on Palestinians to cling to these rights and not give up any small piece of “Palestine’s soil”. </p>
<p>An Arab League offer of full diplomatic ties in exchange for Israel&#8217;s withdrawal from land occupied in 1967 now includes a reference to the principle of mutually-agreed land swaps.</p>
<p>The move has been hailed by Washington as &#8220;a very big step forward.&#8221;</p>
<p>Israel&#8217;s top peace negotiator Tzipi Livni said Thursday that the Arab League&#8217;s modification of its plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could bring new talks closer.</p>
<p>But a Palestinian envoy said Israel had responded to the new overtures with &#8220;colonization and confrontation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Livni, who is also Israel&#8217;s justice minister, said after talks with UN leader Ban Ki-moon that a freeze on peace negotiations since September 2010 could thaw with the latest Arab League initiative, which was announced after a meeting between Arab ministers and US Secretary of State John Kerry.</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope so, it is (in) the interests of Israel, the interests of the Palestinians and the interests of the international community,&#8221; Livni told reporters.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is clear that Secretary Kerry is completely involved, determined, and I believe that basically it (new talks) is something that we need to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, said that Israel was only &#8220;paying lip service&#8221; to peace talks.</p>
<p>&#8220;While serious regional and international efforts are under way to revive the path of peace and to salvage the two-state solution, Israel instead continues to choose colonization and confrontation,&#8221; Mansour said.</p>
<p>Mansour slammed Israeli tactics in a letter to Ban and the UN Security Council which highlighted how &#8220;hundreds of Palestinians have been forcibly displaced&#8221; in the past week and others face eviction.</p>
<p>He said such actions are &#8220;fueling tensions on the ground, inciting violence and provoking deeper mistrust,&#8221; as he called on the Security Council to act.</p>
<p>The PLO halted peace talks with Israel in September 2010 when Israel refused to renew a moratorium on building settlements in the occupied territories.</p>
