(ANSAmed) - RAMALLAH, DECEMBER 17 - Palestinian Liberation
Organization (PLO) politician Mustafa Barhouti told ANSA on
Wednesday that the EU Parliament vote on recognizing Palestinian
statehood was ''a positive step but not enough''.
''The weakness of this vote,'' added Barghouti, ''is that
it associates the recognition of Palestine with the resumption
of talks with Israel. The positive aspect,'' he said, ''is
instead the clear support from all European civil society for an
autonomous Palestinian state.'' (ANSAmed).
