'Palestinians' seethe: Israel has not responded to Abu Bluff's letter

The 'Palestinians' are seething: Prime Minister Netanyahu has not yet responded to Abu Bluff's letter.

Israel has not officially responded to a letter from President Abbas earlier this month, which outlined the Palestinian position in peace talks, a Fatah official said Saturday.

Central Committee member Jamal Muheisin told Ma'an that the only response received from Israel so far has been to grant legal status to three illegal settlement outposts.

An Israeli committee decided to "legalize" the West Bank outposts of Rechalim, Bruchin and Sansana last Monday, a week after receiving Abbas' letter which explicitly called on Israel to halt settlement activity.

The Palestinian side is still waiting for Israel to set a date to deliver their official response, Muheisin said.

The President's letter demanded a halt to Israeli settlement construction on West Bank land captured in the 1967 Middle East war and deplored Israel's lack of commitment to the peace process.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who took the letter from PLO official Saeb Erekat, promised a written reply in two weeks.

The letter was delivered on April 17; it hasn't been two weeks yet. Personally, my response would consist of two words, seven letters total. First word four letters beginning in F, second word three letters ending in u. Can anyone guess?
