Peace between Israelis and Palestinians is ‘still possible’, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas said, hailing US Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to revive stalled talks.
In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Abbas called on Israel to ‘end the occupation of our land,’ evacuate settlements and free Palestinian prisoners. ’This is what will make peace and ensure security for you and for us,’ he said. The Palestinian leader praised Kerry’s latest efforts to revive peace negotiations with Israel, which stalled nearly three years ago.
