RAMALLAH Feb. 4 (JMCC) - Palestinian settlement expert Khalil Tufakji has been barred from traveling outside the country for six months for security reasons.
Tufakji, head of the map section at the Arab Studies Center, was handed the interior ministry order on Wednesday banning his travel.
This is evidence that the Israeli government doesn't want peace at all, says Tufakji, who served on the Palestinian negotiating team from 1992 to 2001.
His offices, part of the Orient House connected with the Palestine Liberation Organization, were closed by Israel in August 2001.
