The Palestinian leader Abbas who is DEMANDING statehood for the Palestinians also is adamant that they WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A STATE!! Also he says he will never give up the so-called RIGHT OF RETURN and that the Palestinian state will be CLEAN (or empty, depending on the translation) of an Israeli presence (military or civilian).
This issue should now be dead in the water. Palestinian statehood has to be a non-starter with these proclamations; resulting with Abbas being shown to the U.N. door by security personnel.
