RAMALLAH, (PIC)--

The Remarks made lately by chief negotiator of the Palestinian authority Saeb Erekat in which he begged peace from Israelis and apologized to them for past mistakes made by the Palestinians received wide condemnation from the Palestinians at home and abroad.

His reprehensible remarks, which were posted on Youtube, were part of mass media campaign funded by USAID organization. The PA initiated the campaign on august 28 under the title "We are partners, what are you?" in order to address the Israeli citizens and convince them of the two-state solution.


De facto president Mahmoud Abbas and a group of his entourage including Salam Fayyad, Riyadh Al-Malki, Jibril Rajoub and Yasser Abdelrabbo participated in this campaign.

"Shalom to you in Israel, I know we have disappointed you, I know we have been unable to deliver peace for the last 19 years," Erekat started his speech addressing Israelis.

"I am your partner. Are you mine?" he concluded.
