WASHINGTON – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the J Street 2021 National Conference on Sunday that moving away from a two-state solution would lead to a de facto apartheid one-state solution, calling this something neither the Palestinians nor the world would accept. We are ready to resume peace negotiations with our Israeli counterpart on the basis of international legitimacy, resolutions and signed agreements and under the auspices of the International Quartet, Abbas said.
Abbas told J Street that the Palestinians support a two-state solution based on pre-June 1967 borders based on international law, creating an independent and sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital a demand the U.S. President Joe Biden administration has not publicly supported to date.
