Ties with Israel at 'point of ** return': Palestine
 

Ramallah, Jan 19 (IANS) A Palestinian official Monday said ties with Israel reached a "point of ** return" after Israel decided to halt the transfer the tax revenues to the Palestinian National Authority. "Israel is practicing a collective punishment against the Palestinian people," said chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, in a statement following his meeting with foreign diplomats in the West Bank, according to a Xinhua report. "The Palestinian-Israeli ties would never return to what it used to be before signing up to join international agencies and treaties, mainly the International Criminal Court," said Erekat. "Keeping this situation is impossible." Erekat also referred to what he described as the Israeli government's "endless threats" against the Palestinian leadership, the Palestinian people and the international agencies.
