Palestinian Negotiator: Israel Taking Most Hard-Line Stance in Decades 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The United States-brokered Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are
continuing behind closed doors. In a statement ahead of the prisoners'
release, top Palestinian negotiator Yasser Abed Rabbo said Israel's
current stance in the talks is its most hard-line in more than 20 years.
Abed Rabbo says Israel is seeking to hold onto major parts of the
occupied West Bank, "undermining the possibility of establishing a
sovereign Palestinian state."
