...cash." International relief aid is getting into the sealed areas, but Hamad notes: "It's not a deep-rooted solution, it's only cosmetic." Despite the setbacks, the overwhelming margin of the vote shows that PNC is willing to keep peace negotiation on track. Israel had threatened to scrub May negotiations on the unresolved status of Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements in the occupied territories and jurisdiction of Jerusalem if the PNC did not remove the clauses. PNC inaction might also have dealt a blow to the reelection bid of Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, who faces a stiff challenge from...
