Israel 'disappointed' with S. American countries

DECEMBER 6, 2010 22:29

Israel Monday night expressed "regret and disappointment" at South American countries' decision to recognize an independent Palestinian state.

"Recognition of a Palestinian state is a violation of the interim agreement signed by Israel and the Palestinian Authority in 1995, which established that the status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip will be discussed and solved through negotiations," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The statement said that recognition of a Palestinian state also contradicts the road map.

"All attempts to bypass negotiations and to unilaterally determine issues in dispute will only harm the trust of the sides and their commitment to agreed upon frameworks for negotiations," the statement read.

Following in Brazil’s footsteps, Argentina and Uruguay said Monday they recognized a "free and independent" Palestinian state, to the criticism of Israeli, as well as American leaders.
