Time Now for Real, Genuine Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations, says UN Chief<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Lamenting the lack of progress in the Middle East peace process, Secretary-General <\/span><\/a>Ban Ki-moon today stressed that it is important now, more than ever, for Israelis and Palestinians to engage in real, genuine and meaningful negotiations. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

During a meeting<\/span><\/a> in Rome with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Mr. Ban added that achieving the goal of an independent, viable Palestinian state was long overdue, according to information provided by a United Nations spokesperson. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Secretary-General thanked Mr. Abbas for outlining Palestinian thoughts and plans on working toward statehood and on what was required for a return to negotiations. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Talks between the two sides have been stalled since late September following Israel’s refusal to extend a 10-month freeze on settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory. That decision prompted Mr. Abbas to withdraw from direct talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which had only resumed a few weeks earlier after a two-year hiatus. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Ban said during today’s meeting that he knew it was the Palestinian Authority’s priority to return to the negotiating table. <\/p><\/div>\n
