Abbas hosts ex-Knesset speaker, calls for Israeli-Palestinian peace

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas welcomes former Knesset speaker Avraham Burg to the PA presidential headquarters in Ramallah.

Burg quotes Abbas as saying Israelis and Palestinians must ultimately live in peace.

“He said there is no other way except for both peoples to live together in coexistence and peace,” Burg says in a phone call. “He said regardless of the Israeli political roller-coaster, the Palestinians will never lose hope.”
