Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has told US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the Palestinians would not agree to re-launch peace talks with Israel without a complete freeze of Jewish settlements.
Abbas rejected the request from Clinton because a deal reached between US Middle East envoy George Mitchell and Israel ‘‘does not include a complete freeze of settlement activities,’’ Erakat said.
