The Palestinian Authority is expected to hold a crucial meeting in the coming days regarding its ties with Israel.

The Palestinian Authority is extremely frustrated with Israel’s failure to re-enter peace negotiations while at the same time increasing repression in the West Bank and al Quds (Jerusalem).

PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat ruled out the possibility that the PA leadership would cut all ties with Israel. Erekat confirmed that he had met in recent months with then-interior minister Silvan Shalom, who was entrusted with maintaining contacts with the PA leadership. Two meetings took place last July and August.
