JERUSALEM (AP) - Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia on Sunday called on the world to press Israel to stop building settlements in the West Bank, a day before he was to leave for Cairo for talks about the future of the Gaza Strip.
Qureia said the world needs to understand that such construction could doom peace prospects.
'If you want a two-state solution (Israel and Palestine), there is no way to reach it without an immediate halt to settlements,' he said.
Palestinians are upset over an apparent change in U.S. policy toward the settlements. After decades of declaring them 'obstacles to peace,' U.S. officials are indicating to the Israelis that they can build new housing in the settlements as long as the borders of the individual enclaves are not expanded."
