Set up shot of Saeb Erekat, senior Palestinian government spokesman \u003cbr/\u003e13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Saeb Erekat, senior Palestinian government spokesman:\u003cbr/\u003e\"I hope one day the Israeli government will realise the difference between negotiations and dictations. And I hope this would be an eye opener for Senator Mitchell. Every time he comes here it''s either settlement tenders, \"fait accompli\" (French meaning: \"done deal\") policies, dictations or such statements. We want Senator Mitchell to succeed in his mission. And we know that he is exerting every possible effort. But the way to success is to have Mr Netanyahu to drop his conditions. Mr Netanyahu is conditioning the resumption of negotiations with two things: number one: that he continues with settlement activities including in Jerusalem, and secondly that he refuses to resume negotiations on the core issues when we had them in December 2008. Without Mr Netanyahu dropping his conditions how you can resume negotiations?\"\u003cbr/\u003e14. End shot of Erekat\u003cbr/\u003eWashington''s Middle East envoy launched a new effort on Thursday aimed at restarting Israeli-Palestinian\u003cbr/\u003epeace negotiations, just as President Obama expressed pessimism about the prospects.\u003cbr/\u003eAlready complicating envoy George Mitchell''s mission was a new demand by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an Israeli military presence in the West Bank to stop weapons smuggling, even after formation of a Palestinian state.\u003cbr/\u003eMitchell met Thursday with Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and President\u003cbr/\u003eShimon Peres. He was scheduled to see Netanyahu later on Thursday.\u003cbr/\u003eAs Mitchell began his mission, his boss, Obama, admitted he overreached in the Mideast.\u003cbr/\u003eIn an interview with Time Magazine published Thursday, Obama said internal conflicts made it hard for the Israelis\u003cbr/\u003eand Palestinians to restart talks, \"and I think that we overestimated our ability to persuade them to do so when\u003cbr/\u003etheir politics ran contrary to that.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHe said Israel found it very hard to move with any bold gestures, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had Hamas \"looking over his shoulder.\"\u003cbr/\u003eObama concluded, \"I think it is absolutely true that what we did this year didn''t produce the kind of breakthrough\u003cbr/\u003ethat we wanted and if we had anticipated some of these political problems on both sides earlier, we might not have\u003cbr/\u003eraised expectations as high.\"\u003cbr/\u003eDuring his meeting with Peres, Mitchell pledged to soldier on. He said Obama''s vision is a Palestinian state alongside Israel in peace. \"We will pursue (that) until we achieve that objective,\" Mitchell said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe envoy is set to meet with Palestinian officials in the West Bank on Friday.\u003cbr/\u003eMitchell has been labouring without success for a year to get both sides back to the negotiating table, and\u003cbr/\u003eNetanyahu''s new demand made his mission even tougher.\u003cbr/\u003eNetanyahu said Israel must maintain a presence \"on the eastern side of a prospective Palestinian state\" to keep\u003cbr/\u003emilitants from using the territory to launch rockets at Israel''s heartland.\u003cbr/\u003eThe eastern side of such a state would be the part of the Jordan Valley that lies in the West Bank.\u003cbr/\u003eAbbas aide Nabil Abu Rdeneh rejected the demand. \u003cbr/\u003eSenior Palestinian government spokesman Saeb Erekat said that every time Mitchell came to Israel \"it''s either settlement tenders, \"fait accompli\" (French meaning: \"done deal\") policies, dictations or such statements,\" adding that the way to success was to have Netanyahu drop his conditions. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Mr Netanyahu is conditioning the resumption of negotiations with two things: number one: that he continues with settlement activities including in Jerusalem, and secondly that he refuses to resume negotiations on the core issues when we had them in December 2008. Without Mr Netanyahu dropping his conditions how you can resume negotiations?\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Palestinians have refused to sit down with Israel until it stops all construction in the West Bank and east\u003cbr/\u003eJerusalem, saying it is eating up lands they claim for their future state. \u003cbr/\u003eIsrael, which captured both areas in 1967, has slowed settlement construction in the West Bank, but has applied no restrictions in east Jerusalem, which Netanyahu hopes to retain.\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael also says negotiations should begin immediately with no conditions, but the Palestinians accuse Israel of\u003cbr/\u003eheaping plenty of conditions of its own, including the demilitarisation of a future Palestinian state, the retention of east Jerusalem and now, a military presence along Jordan''s border.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Israeli leader heads a coalition largely opposed to the sweeping territorial concessions that would be\u003cbr/\u003enecessary to clinch a peace deal with the Palestinians. \u003cbr/\u003eHe himself had long refused to endorse the concept of Palestinian statehood, doing so only in June under intense US pressure.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
