ABBAS: WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY SOLUTION THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE STATE ON ’67 LINES:
Posted onOn the eve of his first meeting with USA President Donald Trump, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tues. 2 May 2017 that the Palestinian leadership "will not accept any solution” that does not include a state along 1967 lines and east Jerusalem as its capital. Abbas made the remarks at an event in Washington, D.C., where he spoke before members of the Palestinian diaspora, who reside in the USA. Abbas has long stated that he supports the establishment of a Palestinian state along 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital, but also proposed minor land swaps in previous negotiations. Abbas and a team of his advisers on Wed. 3 May 2017, were slated to meet with Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and a number of American-Jewish leaders. (Jerusalem Post) Pray that Palestinian, USA and global leaders, will understand there is absolutely zero chance Israel is going to comply with any plan for a future Palestinian state based on pre-1967 lines. It is a ludicrous objective, one which a long line of Israeli government and military leaders have considered to be "suicidal,” for the Jewish state.
