Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's talk about an 'historic compromise' and said there would be no compromises on core issues such as Jerusalem and borders.
Abbas also reiterated his rejection of Netanyahu's demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. 'We're not talking about a Jewish state and we won't talk about one,' Abbas said in an interview with the semi-official Al-Quds newspaper. 'For us, there is the state of Israel and we won't recognize Israel as a Jewish state.'"
