Abbas says Egypt’s proposal acceptable

Speaking to the Saudi newspaper Al-Ukaz, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas says that the “Egyptian [ceasefire] proposal meets all the demands of the Palestinians, including opening the crossings and lifting the siege. We boycotted the Paris conference because Egypt was not invited there.”
