Chief Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat presented chief Israeli negotiator Tzipi Livini with a seven-point program of demands for the continuation of talks, Wednesday, according to a Thursday report by the PA's Ma'an news agency. The first demand is for a commitment to a PA state based on the pre-Six Day War borders with Jerusalem as its capital, followed by the release of 1,200 terrorists, including arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti and Ahmed Saadat - who planned the assassination of Tourism Minister Rechav'am Ze'evi.

Other major points included removing blockades on Gaza, stopping Jewish building in eastern Jerusalem and allowing PA institutions there, returning of the terrorists from the Church of the Nativity takeover and the granting of Israeli citizenship to 15,000 PA residents in the name of family reunification. The PA demanded the stopping of Israeli arrests of terrorists and other operations in PA-controlled areas and transfer of control in area C from Israel to the PA.

In announcing the cancellation of the release of 26 security prisoners to the PA, Livni cited "new conditions".
