Mahmoud Abbas: “You have a partner, a partner is ready and able to guarantee stability and security. But this depends on your…”

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.

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

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.
