Palestinian Authority (PA) negotiator Yasser Abed Rabbo warned Wednesday that if Israel does not take more steps to further negotiations, the PA will consider declaring independence, similar to Kosovo, which earlier this week announced it is separating from Serbia.

Abed Rabbo insisted that Israel must stop building in Judea and Samaria as well as in areas in Jerusalem that were restored to the Jewish state after the Six-Day War in 1967.
