The United States shout take clear attitudes when it resumes efforts that aim at reviving stalled peace talks between the Palestinians and Israel, a Palestinian official said Wednesday.
America's position regarding Jewish settlement constructions in the occupied Palestinian territories should be more resolute, said Nabil Abu Rdineh, a spokesman for the Palestinian leadership.
He added that Washington should resume its efforts on the bases that the borders of the future Palestinian statehood include the land that Israel has occupied in 1967 with East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital.
On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the Obama administration will reveal a new policy towards the Middle East, adding that the stillness of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians was "no more sustainable."
Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians stopped in September 2010. The Palestinians walked out of the U.S.-brokered negotiations, protesting the resumption of Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank.
