Madam, – I find the argument of Edwin Bennatan (Opinion, March 29th), quite alarming. It is full of unfounded allegations aimed at helping Israel out of isolation of its own making.
Israel refuses to fulfil its obligations under the Road Map to freeze all settlement activity so that negotiations for a two-state solution can begin and it has been caught red-handed forging other countries’ passports.

For the fourth consecutive day, the Israeli Occupation Forces
(IOF) continue to deny access to the holy city of Jerusalem,
preventing Palestinian prayers from performing their right of
practicing and freedom of belief.

Since Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967, hundreds of Palestinian archaeological sites and cultural properties have been systematically confiscated, looted,
excavated and destroyed by Israel, endangering Palestinian cultural heritage and denying Palestinians their cultural patrimony,

Chief Palestinian Negotiator Dr. Saeb Erakat condemned the announcement made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to include several Palestinian heritage and archaeological sites within the occupied Palestinian territory on a list of Israeli “heritage sites”.
