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. During the broadcast, the so-called “moderate” 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"). In addition, Abbas says emphatically that there will never be recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. The Revolutionary Council of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party on Monday unanimously endorsed his rejection of demands to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. (Israel National News)
