Mahmoud Abbas

We will not leave our homeland. We will not accept displacement. And we will not allow anyone to decide our future on our behalf.

We will not allow the rights of our people, for which we have struggled for decades and made great sacrifices to achieve, to be infringed upon ...

I will not compromise on the salary of a martyr or a prisoner.

The summary execution of our children in cold blood

Each drop of blood that was spilled in Jerusalem is pure blood

We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem

The two-State solution, i.e., the State of Palestine coexisting alongside the State of Israel, represents the spirit and essence of the historic compromise embodied in the Oslo Declaration of Principles.

President Mahmoud Abbas summed it up recently when he said that Palestinians could demand no less than the United States on settlements.

You know, Senator, I know exactly what you expect of me. I have to disarm Hamas. Now you tell me how I'm supposed to do that.

The biggest obstacle to Middle East peace is Israel's expansion of Jewish settlements and Palestinian occupied territories.

Under the plan, Israel would cease its military operations. In return, Palestinians would end violence against Israelis.
