PLO Secretary-General Yasser Abd Rabbo said that US President Barack Obama's position regarding a Palestinian state within 1967 border is the basis for a profound peace process, "If Israel gives its unequivocal consent."
Abd Rabbo noted that Israel's refusal to withdraw to 1967 border and the facts on the ground – including the approval of 1,500 new housing units in Jerusalem – proves that it is not heading toward a genuine peace process. (Elior Levy)
