Palestinians: No Need for New Framework Understandings
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - In a letter to Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elarabi, PA President Mahmoud Abbas said Monday that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was trying to reach a framework agreement of understandings and not an interim or final solution for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Tayeb Abdel Rahim, a senior aide to Abbas, said, "The Palestinian-Israeli track does not need a new framework agreement of understandings. There are several old understandings such as the Oslo Accords, the Road Map and the Annapolis Conference." He added that the Palestinians remain committed to negotiating with Israel until April. "After that, we will go to the UN organizations (to seek recognition of a Palestinian state) if there are no (Israeli) withdrawals."
