Abbas says could end security cooperation over Israeli settlements push

None

PARIS - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Wednesday he could be forced to suspend security cooperation with Israel if the ramp-up of Israeli settlements continued.

 

"If the colonization continues, I would have no other choice, it would not be my fault," Abbas told France's Senate during a visit to Paris.

 

On Tuesday, he met President Francois Hollande, who voiced concern over a law retroactively legalising about 4,000 settler homes built on privately owned Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank
