Abbas Threatens to Set Up Bi-National State in Land of Israel
PA chief Mahmoud Abbas has warned Israel in an interview with the Reuters news agency that if Israel continues developing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, the PA will call for establishing a Palestinian bi-national state in all of the land of Israel.Abbas said the PA would call for the realization of full Palestinian rights over the entire area of Israel.
According to reports, the PA recently rejected an Israeli offer to establish a state in temporary borders as a means of implementing the road map. The PA said that Israeli efforts to establish a territorial link between Ma’ale Adumim and Jerusalem would cause it to demand a bi-national state as a political solution to the Arab-Israeli dispute.
