Albright renews call for freeze on Jewish housing in West Bank
UNITED NATIONS. Sept 26: US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Thursday renewed her call for a freeze on Jewish housing in the West Bank, saying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest building plans were unhelpful in the search for peace, reports Reuter.
During her first Mideast mission earlier this month. Albright urged a "time out" on new settlements — which Palestinians consider provocative and are at the heart of the worsening crisis in the peace process.
But on Wednesday. Netanyahu defied the United States by announcing that his government would build hundreds more homes in the West Bank town of Efrat and other settlements throughout areas occupied in the 1967 Middle East War.
"We have made it quite clear that this particular building is not at all helpful as we (try) to get the peace process going again." Albright told a news conference at the United Nations. after chairing a ministerial-level Security Council
meeting on Africa
"When 1 was there (in the region) I called for a time out. 1 would like to see a time out. I am calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu to honour that time out." she said, referring to "Actions that make it more difficult to have successful negotiations."
Asked by reporters if she took this latest development as a personal affront to herself and the United States, which is Israel's closest ally and provides the Jewish state with some 3 billion dollars in annual aid. she said.
’1 think in high politics one doesn't take things personally. But I do think this is regrettable."
In addition to defying Albright's request. Netanyahu did not inform her about his housing plans when he spoke with her by telephone on Wednesday about efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
Instead the information came first from news reports and the American Embassy in Tel Aviv, officials said.
State Department spokesman James Rubin said the Americans were told the Israelis did not think the development was important enough to raise in the conversation.
The new controversy is complicating US efforts to persuade UN members that Israel should be allowed a seat on the Security Council, he added.
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have been blocked since March, when Netanyahu broke ground on a Jewish settlement in Arab East Jerusalem, seen by Palestinians as the capital of a future state. Suicide bombings have deepened the crisis.
Palestinian negotiators on Thursday presented the United States with proposals for reviving stalled talks, demanding Israel halt settlement-building and other "unilateral steps."
The negotiators met at the State Department with special Middle East envoy Dennis Ross ahead of a key meeting In New York on Monday between Israeli and Palestinian officials, to be chaired by Albright.
Negotiator Saeb Erekat said
he and colleagues Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) and Nabil Shaath and given Ross a Palestinian position paper.
"We reiterated our positions vis-a-vis the necessity to cease all unilateral steps that may prejudice or pre-empt the outcome of the permanent status talks, especially settlement activities. confiscation of land (and) home demolitions."
Erekat said the Palestinians were ready to fall in with a US proposal to win so-called "final status" talks with Israel with implementation of past accords whereby Israel is to withdraw troops from occupied areas.
Israel, under pressure from Washington to promote resumption of Moribund talks with the PLO. dismissed censure of its declarations of new settlement work in the West Bank.
Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy, in New York for the annual UN General Assembly, told reporters "There has been no new decision taken" on set-’ dements. Instead Netanyahu decided to implement an old decision. Levy said.
