Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 10-month freeze on new housing construction in the West Bank's Jewish settlements is not bringing the Palestinian Authority back to the negotiating table.
On the contrary, the Authority's president, Mahmoud Abbas, believes that building is still under way.
He told Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak that the bilateral talks will not resume unless there is a total halt on construction in the disputed West Bank.
Actually, Netanyahu allowed 3,000 housing starts and 500 previous ones to go ahead before he announced the 10-month freeze.

Meanwhile, there is talk here of a new American plan to assure the Palestinians the territorial gains they seek.
