HARDtalk
with Saeb Erekat, senior Palestinian negotiator
This is a schedule change and replaces the previously published
programme.
On
BBC News 24's HARDtalk tonight, Sarah Montague interviews Saeb
Erekat, senior Palestinian negotiator.
Israel
has retaliated after the latest suicide attacks in Jerusalem and
Tel Aviv, bombing the residence of senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zafar.
With
hopes for a peaceful solution seeming further away than ever, Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat has asked Ahmed Qureia, also known as Abu Ala,
to become the new Prime Minister.
But
Qureia has said he will only accept if Washington guarantees Israeli
compliance with the United States-backed "road map".
Israel
has accused the Palestinians of failing to honour their road map
commitment to crack down on terrorism.
Saeb
Erekat is a senior Palestinian negotiator.
Sarah
Montague asks him how the Palestinians plan to curb the suicide
attacks, and what hope there is for a lasting peace.
