PA President Abbas meets with Hadash MKs; says any deal requiring recognition or land swap out of the question.
Any peace agreement which requires the Palestinians to recognize Israel as a Jewish state or an exchange of land is out of the question, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Friday.
In a Ramallah meeting with Hadash party Knesset members, Abbas said that it was now up to Israel to recognize a Palestinian state with 1967 borders, and that the PA had already recognised Israel back in 1993, thus negating the need for any further acknowledgment.On Monday, Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke at the opening of the Knesset's winter session.
