The UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process said on Monday that the commentary on the leaked "Palestine Papers" is inaccurate.
"I welcome robust political debate, but some of the commentary I have seen conveys an inaccurate impression," Robert Serry said in a statement.

Serry added that he "would urge both parties to show their readiness for
a negotiated peace based on a two-state solution, and to deliver on the
ground."
"It is to the genuine credit of the Palestinian leadership that they are
doing so," he said, "and this is widely acknowledged in the United
Nations."
On Sunday evening, Al-Jazeera released part of the 1,684 documents it
dubbed "The Palestine Papers." Palestinian Authority sources
deny much
of the leaked documents' content.
