Abbas: We Deal with U.S., Not Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - PA leader Mahmoud Abbas told U.S. special envoy George Mitchell that the Palestinians don't believe that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a real peace partner, according to Abbas Zaki, a member of the Fatah Central Committee. "Abbas told Mitchell that the Israelis are no longer peace partners as much as the Americans are," Zaki told the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper. "The Palestinian Authority is negotiating with Washington and not with Tel Aviv," he said.
