Pyongyang, December 31 (KCNA) -- Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said Wednesday that Israel should shoulder the responsibility for the freeze in the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks.

The Palestinians and the Arabs have accepted all the international efforts that seek to attain peace, while the current Israeli government continues to reject these efforts and initiatives, Judeh said in a speech.

The minister also urged Israel to halt all the unilateral measures, calling for the immediate resumption of the peace talks.
