Abbas: No new intifada during my term
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he would not allow a new intifada to begin while he was in office, but warned that the calm currently felt in the West Bank may disappear at the end of his term, in June of 2010.
"As long as I am in office, I will not allow anyone to start a new intifada, but once I leave it is no longer my responsibility and I can't make any guarantees," Abbas told the Wall Street Journal. (Ynet)
