Abbas sets conditions for extending talks with Israel

(...)

Speaking to a group of Israeli journalists in Ramallah, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas laid out his three conditions for continuing talks with Israel: that Israel release the fourth batch of Palestinian security prisoners, including Israeli-Arabs, and that none of them be deported; that Israel freeze all settlement construction; and that the first three months of the extended talks deal with the borders of a future Palestinian state.

“The Americans asked us to extend the talks for another nine months and we agreed on condition that we draw the final borders of a Palestinian state,” Abbas continued. “If Israel really believes in the two-state solution, then let’s sit at the negotiating table and see where are Israel’s borders. Let’s determine where the borders of Israel and a Palestinian state are.”
