Mahmoud Abbas Rejects Even Discussing the Rights of the Jewish People to a State
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Pinhas Inbari - Since his return from Washington, where he met with President Barack Obama, Mahmoud Abbas has demonstrated on successive occasions that he is only willing to harden his position on peace with Israel. At the Arab League summit in Kuwait on March 25, Abbas said he opposed "even holding a discussion" on recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. To make matters worse, Abbas repeated the canard of Israeli conspiracies against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, making the baseless charge that Israel was seeking to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews.
