Commenting on the Palestinian – Israeli talks are being in Taba - Egypt , the Palestinian goals are the anticipated agreement that could be concluded , Mr.nabeel amro , minister for parliamentary affairs issued the following press release .

“ The Palestinian goals behind these negotiations is to evade any political vacuum that could lead to dangerous multiplication which would menace the relative progress that has been attained with the Israelis offered more than 90% of the Palestinian territories , while the Palestinian see that there is a possibility of setting 100% of the area of the land that was occupied in 1967 .

“ the Palestinian are aiming also to set better texts to be presented before the new American administration so that this administration cam resume the process without going back and starting from nil .

There are also Palestinian fears regarding Israel internal tempests, which may obstruct the success of any agreement or understanding that could be reached. He added.

“ But in case a certain deal was concluded, this deal will form a strong and active pressure factor on any future government in Israel.”

However, the Palestinian are walking seriously to reach an applicable agreement, and they are biting on a big international backing for such an agreement that would be topped by a historic event, i.e. the declaration of the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and setting a just and practicable solution for the issue of the refugees on the basis of international legitimacy.

Referring to the factor of time he paid:

“It is clear that time factors is pressing, and consequently, it is not easy to reach a laetrile agreement before the election in Israel. But in case, big progress will be documented and written down in order be a useful credit with any for the coming Israeli government

In case a certain agreement in principal on all on most issues, then it will be possible to find a format to present such a deal on understanding under different titles. What is important is that such a deal would form the ground to conclude the final deal with all its dimensions and details.
