Abbas says new passports will refer to Palestinian state

None

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says his national authority proposes to change its name on passports it issues to State of Palestine.

 

Abbas says this will happen in about a year at the most, replacing the name Palestinian Authority. He spoke after talks with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. Abbas arrived in Greece on Sunday, and is due to address the country's Parliament on Tuesday.
