Abbas: Arabs Erred in Rejecting 1947 Partition Plan
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The Arabs made a mistake in 1947 when they rejected the UN partition plan, PA President Mahmoud Abbas said in an interview with Israel Channel 2 TV on Friday. "It was our mistake. It was an Arab mistake as a whole." The question, said one Israeli official, is what mistake did Abbas reference? "I would like to hear Abbas say that the mistake was that Palestinians should have recognized [in 1947] that two states for two peoples is the right solution, and that the Jewish people have a right to a state of their own. But he didn't say that."
