RAMALLAH, Sept.
15 (Xinhuanet) -- Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat denied on Wednesday
any Egyptian interference in the Palestinian internal affairs.
Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio that the reports that
Egypt is interfering in the Palestinian internal affairs and the US pressure on
Israel to stop building the security wall in the West Bank "are totally untrue".
"The Egyptians are helping Palestinians upon our request in
the field of training Palestinian security and police officers," Erekat said,
accusing Israel of blocking these efforts.
"Unfortunately,
all Egyptian efforts are blocked by the Israeli rock of rejection and
stubbornness," said Erekat, adding "Israel is insisting not getting back to the
negotiation process."
Egypt's Foreign Minister Ahmed Abu
Gheit and intelligence chief Omer Suleiman are scheduled to visit Israel in the
first week of October and they will discuss with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon the details of the Israeli pullout from Gaza.
Palestinian sources reiterated the two Egyptian officials will express to Sharon
that there are conditions for Egypt to succeed in helping Palestinians after
Israel's pullout.
The sources said the conditions are the complete withdrawal of the Israeli army and settlements from the Gaza Strip, ending all closures and sieges in Gaza, operating Gaza air and sea posts, and guaranteeing that the Israeli Army won't return to occupy the areas it has pulled out of. Enditem |
