Abbas warns against failure to meet January 26 deadline

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas stressed on Sunday that the international peacemaking Quartet will have “failed” if it cannot kick start negotiations by January 26.

“If the Quartet can't get the Israeli and Palestinian sides to the table by January 26, it means they have failed and the Palestinian leadership will study its position and act accordingly,” Abbas told Palestine TV.

January 26 is the deadline set by the international peacemaking Quartet for Israel and the Palestinians to submit comprehensive proposals on territory and security as the group works to restart peace talks.

But so far the Quartet, which groups the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia, has had little success in coaxing the sides back to the negotiating table.

Abbas praised Jordan for the efforts exerted to join the Quartet with all concerned parties, confirming that he is ready for such a reunion.
