Abbas: We've yet to receive framework agrement
None
BETHLEHEM - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday that the US had yet to present a framework for a Middle East peace deal, as a deadline ending nine months of negotiations loomed.
"Until now, we haven't received the framework agreement we were promised," Abbas said at news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
"When the framework is presented to us, we'll give our opinion on it," Abbas said. "We have never discussed prolonging the negotiations at all, nor was it offered to us." (AFP)
