Abbas says hopes Olmert's statements 'deposit' for next government
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he hopes the statements made by Prime Minster Ehud Olmert regarding sovereignty over Jerusalem, the territories and the Golan Heights will serve as a deposit for the next government.
Speaking to Muslim clerics on Wednesday evening to mark the Eid al-Fitr holiday, Abbas said that if the views expressed by Olmert in an interview to Israeli media for Rosh Hashana could be implemented "we could have peace in two days time." (Roee Nahmias)
