Fatah official: Palestinians should choose 'smart' resistance in 2014

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) – The Palestinian Authority will continue plans in 2014 immediately after a 9-month time limit given to Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to reach an agreement ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a Fatah official said Saturday.

Speaking to Ma’an, Nabil Shaath said no peace deal would emerge after the nine-month limit “because of what Israel and the United States are proposing.”

He acknowledged that developments related to the question of Palestine in 2014 would be unpredictable and worrying because of the dire conditions in the Arab world.

Shaath highlighted that the “so-called Arab Spring has become very dusty spring.”

Nevertheless, the Fatah official expects 2014 to be dedicated to reactivating Palestinian resistance. The PA, he said, is expected to join more UN organizations and to dedicate efforts to achieve reconciliation with Hamas.
