(France 24) Marc Perelman - PA President Mahmoud Abbas told France 24 in an interview in Paris on Thursday: "We can't say that certain organizations or countries promised to recognize a Palestinian state. But all the signs they are sending show that they are awaiting the right moment to do so. You notice that a certain number of European countries have recently sent additional delegations and official representatives to the Palestinian territories. From our side, we are already treating them like ambassadors." Asked about resistance to Israel, Abbas said: "A third intifada is not my preference, it's not our plan. As president of the Palestinian Authority, I've committed myself to not letting that happen. But peaceful resistance is allowed."
