Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas affirmed the Palestinians’ commitment to achieving peace and peaceful protest in a meeting with former Israeli lawmakers, the official PA news site Wafa reports.

Abbas welcomed a delegation of past Israeli lawmakers to the PA presidential headquarters in Ramallah Sunday evening, including former Justice Minister Yossi Beilin.

“The president of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas affirmed the Palestinian side’s commitment to achieving peace and peaceful, popular resistance because killing, settlements, destroying and uprooting people will not achieve peace and security for any party in the region,” the Wafa report says.
