Abbas says still wants truce despite elections announcement

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that despite an announcement by his authority that Palestinian elections would be held in January, he still believed a truce with Hamas was possible.

 

Speaking before members of the PLO council in Ramallah, he said the announcement was not a tactical move, and that "our hand is still extended towards an inter-Palestinian truce". (Ali Waked)
