Gaza City, Oct 22: The Palestinian Authority today welcomed a UN resolution calling on Israel to stop building its controversial separation barrier along the West Bank, saying it was "a great victory for peace". "We favorably welcome the general assembly resolution. This is a very important resolution; politically, judicially and morally," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told.
"This resolution is a victory for the peace process, for international legitimacy, wisdom and (means) a complete rejection of the arrogance of might," added Erakat, who is also a minister without portfolio in Prime Minister Ahmed Qorei's emergency government. Bureau Report
