Palestinian media pessimistic after Israel vote

JERUSALEM: Palestinian media voiced concerns on Wednesday over the future of the already teetering Middle East Peace process after Israel shifted to the right in parliamentary elections.

"Diplomatic activity in general and the peace process in particular will be frozen," said Al-Quds, the main daily in the Palestinian territories.

With most votes from Tuesday's election counted, the hawkish Likud party was one parliamentary seat behind the centrist Kadima, but appeared in a better position to form a government coalition.
