Abbas is expected to unveil his proposal as part of a "day after" plan following the current war in Gaza, likely at a meeting of the Palestinian leadership on Tuesday, said the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

One official said that Abbas has grown disillusioned after two decades of failed efforts to reach a negotiated peace settlement with Israel.

Correction — that’s two decades and more of murdering Jews. Thanks Eleutheria5.

As if anything this illegitimate Ahole says matters one whit? Creepers. Why not ask the bum at the bus station to solve how the Higgs boson gives mass to the universe? A much better chance of a positive result.

“The Occupation” is Palestinian code for “the existence of Israel.”

Abbas and all his tribe need to move to one of their own countries and leave Israel alone ( or else Israel needs to defeat = destroy them like in any war on earth. At least that way the propaganda mass media sleeze balls will have real casualties they can parade on the news ).

Abbas has to move fast before Obama is no longer in office if he is to achieve a Pali state through the U.N. Only Obama will go along with the rest of the Security Council to allow a Pali state to happen.

Palestine recapitulates Monty Python.

"Abbas is continuing his quest to unilaterally achieve a Palestinian state."

Essentially, they already tried a "Palestinian state" in Gaza. It doesn't work.
