PLO: We'll Ignore "Worthless" Framework Deal
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - On the eve of Secretary of State John Kerry's meeting with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO said that the Palestinians wouldn't pay attention to a "worthless" framework agreement presented by the U.S. PLO Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo claimed Kerry's plan gives the Israelis control over the Jordan Valley and restricts Palestinian sovereignty over the territories. "No Palestinian state will be created without Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley," he said. Palestinian sources told the Palestinian daily Al-Quds that the "most dangerous" part of the "blueprint" is Israel's demand that the Palestinians recognize it as a Jewish state.
