 The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with British State Minister for International Development, Douglas Alexander, on Monday, to discuss development in the Palestinian areas and the new efforts to move the peace process since last months Annapolis conference. During the meeting, Abbas thanked the British government for its US$500,000,000 donation which will be used for the national development plan to help save the economy as well as building Palestinian institutions to prepare for the future Palestinian state. The UK encouraged others to donate money for the Palestinian development plan during the economic meetings that will take place later this month. The Palestinian president reiterated his commitment to the agreements of the Annapolis conference, adding that those agreements should be monitored by the International community, especially in light of Israel's announcement to build 3,000 new settlement housing units in the West Bank. Abbas considered this action by Israel to be a major blow to the Annapolis commitments. Translated by Ghassan Bannoura – IMEMC News |
