Rivlin ‘can’t see Abbas reaching peace deal’

President Reuven Rivlin says in a meeting with Israeli envoys to Asian and Pacific countries that he “doesn’t believe Abu Mazen [PA President Mahmoud Abbas] will agree to reach a diplomatic solution.”

“When you talk of two states for two peoples, where one country is so lacking compared with the other, it is hard to assess that Abu Mazen will manage to convince his people to accept such a deal.”
