Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas clarified his positions regarding the issues of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and the so-called right of return of Palestinian refugees in an appearance broadcast by PA TV, and monitored by Palestinian Media Watch, which also translated the segment.
It is worth watching, for anyone who harbors any doubts regarding what the moderate PA leader seeks, in the negotiations with Israel. Abbas states clearly: no Jewish communities will remain in the PA, and 5 million refugees worldwide, from Canada to Japan including all of the descendants of Arabs who fled Israel in 1948 will have the right to return to Israel.
Abbas rejects categorically even the idea that settlement blocs will remain in the PA state ("not one stone") and says that any agreement with Israel will be brought before the Palestinian people worldwide, for a referendum that will accept or reject it.
In addition, Abbas says emphatically that there will never be recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.
