The Palestinian Authority "Prime Minister" Salam Fayad has shown his "ministers" a draft of a new platform which emphasizes the PA's commitment to all its agreements with Israel, and includes clear statements about ending the conflict with Israel. According to Maariv-NRG reporter Itamar Inbari, the platform is the first not to include the word "resistance" (moqawama in Arabic).
The document says that the PA government "sees peace not just a strategic choice, but also a need that stems from the current political situation and the international relations that require the Palestinian people to a dopt an open foreign policy that is coordinated with the Palestinian, Arab and international legitimacy [sic.]."
