A senior Palestinian official on Thursday rejected US moves to extend an April deadline for nine months of talks with Israel to culminate in a framework peace deal.

"There is no meaning to prolonging the negotiation, even for one more additional hour, if Israel, represented by its current government, continues to disregard international law," PLO chief negotiator Saeb Erekat told AFP.

"If there was a committed partner, we wouldn't even have needed nine hours to reach that deal," he said.

He was responding to comments by US Secretary of State John Kerry who told reporters in Washington on Wednesday that more time would be needed and that he hoped first to agree a framework to guide further talks.

1. The "peace talks" are a sick joke

The Palestinians' human rights are being severely violated, and have been since the 1940's. It isn't the victims' job to negotiate for their own freedom. Their rights are supposed to be guaranteed by international law. There's nothing to negotiate.

Of course, the "peace talks" are nothing more than a sick game for the Israelis.
