Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told interviewers that he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, Israel Radio reported on Tuesday.
Abbas reportedly said that his position is no different from those Arafat present in previous negotiations, and that his staff is the same as Arafat's.
He also hinted that the PA may fall apart if there is no hope for a solution in the near future.
He then repeated that the PA will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
[And so the point of the carefully orchestrated peace talks is what?-- Editor]

if he doesnt want to recognize that, so be it. ignore him from here on out. come on, you dont think we can "persuade" people to see our view?
I want to make sure I have this right --- the Palestinian Authority wants to have a Palestinian state, recognized by the world, and I assume, Israel, too. But they WON'T recognize an already established country as a state (Israel), one which it needs in order to become a state? And we are supposed to accomplish something dealing with these nut cases???
So if Obama can't get these guys to negotiate this go round, I'm all for giving citizens 7 days to vacate, then commencing an all out war for the area. Let them duke it out for all the marbles. Winner gets an undivided state in the region. Loser gets taken in by their respective allies (US/Europe or Arab countries). No outside troop support allowed.
Those lefty morons running our government just don't get it do they?
12:19, where has the administrations approach of actively pushing for peace while providing full defense support to Isreal differed from the past stance of the country? So much selective memory from the right.
This is a ridiculous lie posted by a radical Jewish newspaper. The Palestinian Authority has already recognized Israel. Clear cut. The End.
