So much for some stupid supposed deal...I wouldn't give up anything.
Report: Abbas Will Oppose Official Recognition of Jewish State | Jewish & Israel News Algemeiner.com
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas presented his terms for the acceptance of a U.S.-backed framework agreement with Israel to the Arab League over the weekend in Cairo, Maan News Agency reported on Monday. Among Abbas conditions, there is to be no recognition of Israel as a Jewish State.
Maans source is Muhammad Sabih, Palestinian Affairs Representative to the Arab League.
According to Sabih, Abbas notified the Arab League as to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerrys plan to unveil the framework peace agreement at the end of December. Kerrys proposal includes an outline of the future borders of a Palestinian state, Sabih said.
Sabih also told Maan that the Palestinian Authority does not plan to respond to the U.S. proposal immediately. Rather, Abbas asserted that once the Americans present their peace plan, the PA will unveil the framework to the Arab League. At that point, representatives of Arab nations will convene to decide on whether to accept or reject Kerrys path to peace.
Sabih also said that Abbas seeks to reach a final status agreement and would therefore reject any interim deal. Furthermore, according to Sabih, Abbas will reject any proposal that requires the establishment of a demilitarized Palestinian-Arab state
