Palestinian Leader Abbas Affirms Hope for State in Pre-1967 Lines
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has insisted his aim is to establish a Palestinian state only alongside Israel’s pre-1967 boundaries with the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel recently accused him of seeking to supplant its sovereign territory.
But Mr Abbas, who was born in the town of Safed, told Israeli TV he accepted it was now part of Israel and that he would have no right to residency there.
Palestinians have historically demanded the right of return for refugees.
