Ynetnews reports: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday he is willing to work with US President-elect Donald Trump to reach a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel.
“We want to emphasize our willingness to work with the newly-elected American administration… to achieve peace… based on a two-state solution” as well as the Arab peace initiative and international resolutions, Abbas said during an event marking the anniversary of his Fatah party.
Abbas thanked the US for its UN abstention vote last week, which allowed the Security Council to adopt a resolution declaring Israeli settlements in territory claimed by Palestinians illegal.
In a televised speech, Abbas demanded that Israel stop all settlement activities and avoid making any changes to the demographic situation of "the land of the state of Palestine which has been occupied since 1967, including east Jerusalem."
