Abbas urges Trump to work toward Palestinian statehood
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s office calls on Trump to work towards a Palestinian state.
“We are ready to deal with the elected president on the basis of a two-state solution and to establish a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders,” says Abbas aide Nabil Abu Rudeineh.
He says a failure to resolve the decades-old conflict would mean “the unstable situation will continue in the region.”
