Palestinian leader says Israel must keep 2008 word

President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday that Israel must honour agreements on borders and Jerusalem which he says its government made in 2008 talks with the Palestinians if stalled peace negotiations are to resume.

Speaking after talks with U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Abbas also repeated Palestinian insistence that Israel halt settlement building in the occupied territories, including East Jerusalem.

“We are certainly not obligated to the positions of the previous government,” Netanyahu said in New York.
