JERUSALEM (Islamweb & News Agencies) - Palestinians have called for renewed U.S. mediation in the Middle East, saying they were ready to show what they had done to meet Washington's conditions for the return of its envoy.
But the planned funeral on Saturday of a suspected Palestinian Resistance bomber killed by Israeli occupation troops on Friday highlighted the difficulty in meeting the main U.S. condition -- working to stop militant attacks on Israelis.
After its weekly meeting on Friday, the Palestinian cabinet urged the United States to send back envoy Anthony Zinni to begin implementing proposals for securing peace with Israel.
Zinni, a retired Marine Corps general, left the region earlier this month after witnessing some of the worst violence of the 15-month Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation.
An Israeli government spokesman dismissed the call.
Arafat called for an end to Resistance attacks on Israel on December 16, but Israel says he has not done enough to act against groups behind attacks which killed scores of Israelis.
