Abbas: Any agreement will be brought to referendum
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told Jordanian newspaper Al Rai that "any agreement reached with the Israelis will be brought to a referendum." He added: "We were close to an agreement with Ehud Olmert, but he stumbled in the political arena, and then came Benjamin Netanyahu and the peace process stalled."
According to him, "the Unites States is serious in formulating a solution to the Palestinian issue, through introducing a Palestinian state within the 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital." (Roi Kais)
