Bardawil further said that such statements reflect what has been taking place in the futile negotiations and proves that such negotiations could never bear fruit simply because the Zionists are not interested in peace, but rather want the futile negotiations with the Palestinians to drag on forever.

He said that the Arab and Islamic countries should rise to the challenge and stand by the Palestinian people in their struggle for liberation and restoration of their rights.

He talked of the seriousness of the situation and challenges to the Palestinian people making it imperative for the Palestinians to unite to face such challenges.

Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister and new leader of Kadima Party had told Maariv newspaper on Thursday that Jerusalem will remain the undivided capital of Israel.
