Palestinian negotiator rejects claims of back door deals with Israel
The PLO's chief negotiator, Saeb Erekat, has described the leak of confidential memos documenting a decade of Middle East peace talks as a "slander campaign" and insisted that no single concession will be agreed without a comprehensive agreement with Israel, whose colonisation of Palestinian land is the "only constant".
Palestinian papers Leaks threaten my life, Erekat says
The documents suggest the Palestinians were ready to make big concessions, despite public claims to the contrary. But in an interview with the BBC, Mr Erekat admitted that some of the material was true. He had initially dismissed it as a "pack of lies". He has vowed to take responsibility if the leaks came from his office.

Barack Obama lifts then crushes Palestinian peace hopes
The rise and rapid collapse of Palestinian hopes invested in Barack Obama are laid bare in graphic detail in the leaked documents. They make clear that PLO leaders continue to regard a string of far-reaching concessions as a negotiated package which remains on the table for the US and Israel to pick up.

Papers reveal how Palestinian leaders gave up fight over refugees
Palestinian negotiators privately agreed that only 10,000 refugees and their families, out of a total refugee population exceeding 5 million, could return to Israel as part of a peace settlement, leaked confidential documents reveal. PLO leaders also accepted Israel's demand to define itself as an explicitly Jewish state, in sharp contrast to their public position
Reaction to the leaked Palestine papers
The story behind the Palestine papers
Palestinian leaders weak and increasingly desperate
The overwhelming impression that emerges from the confidential records of a decade of Middle East peace talks is of the weakness and desperation of Palestinian leaders, the unyielding correctness of Israeli negotiators and the often contemptuous attitude towards the Palestinian side shown by US politicians and officials.
Arafat recognises Jewish state and limit to return of refugees
Yasser Arafat has told an Israeli newspaper that he recognises Israel's right to remain a Jewish state and is, therefore, prepared to accept the return of only a fraction of the Palestinian refugees. In an interview with Ha'aretz, published yesterday, the Palestinian leader was asked if he understood that "Israel has to keep being a Jewish state"?
