PALESTINE LEADERS AGAINST KURDISTAN & ISRAEL – Palestinian Official Concern over Covert Relationship Between KRG & Israel / PYD Against Independent Kurdistan: Saeb Erekat

Basnews | Herman Khalid – 07.09.2015 – GAZA – A Palestinian official has claimed that the co-chair of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) Salih Muslim is against attempts by the Iraqi Kurdistan Region President to create an independent Kurdistan.

Saeb Erekat, senior Palestinian negotiator, told Al-Arabiya that while meeting the Syrian opposition parties, he learned that Muslim wishes to establish an autonomous region in Kurdish areas of Syria. Erekat revealed that Muslim is against President Barzani’s attempts to establish a Kurdistan region free from Iraq. He believes that the creation of an independent Kurdistan will encourage other nations to separate from Arab countries. “Kurdistan independence would be a poisoned sword against Arabs,” Erekat said. He also raised Palestinian concerns about a covert relationship between the Kurds and Israel.
