Has Mahmoud Abbas Really Accepted the Clinton Parameters on the Refugee Problem?
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt. Col. (ret.) Jonathan D. Halevi - Mahmoud Abbas' claim to have accepted the Clinton Parameters on the refugee issue is not consistent with his demand for recognition of the personal right of return of each individual refugee, which he made before the Fatah Revolutionary Council on March 12, 2014. The Clinton Parameters explicitly state that the Palestinian refugees' settlement in Israel would require a sovereign Israeli decision, and must accord with the principle that Palestine is the Palestinian homeland and Israel is the Jewish homeland.
