The PLO chief negotiator Saeb Erekat warned that the Palestinian Authority (PA) might collapse if a peace agreement with the zionists is not reached in 2008.
"If a peace agreement is not reached in 2008, we could disappear, and the repercussions will expand to the whole region," Erekat told journalists.
Erekat highlighted that the popularity of Fatah and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has dropped recently because no progress has been made in the peace talks, as was revealed in a recent poll. "People are disappointed in us, and the explanation for that is our failure to fulfill what we promised," he added.
Erekat said that the zionist's stubbornness and refusal to remove military checkpoints and halt settlement activity in the West Bank has helped reduce the credibility of Abbas and the PA amongst the Palestinian people.
