Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday called for the re-examination of political, economic and security arrangements with Israel, Palestinians news agency Ma’an reported.

 

At a press conference with Serbian President Tomislav Nikolicat in Belgrade, the PA chief said Israel must “stop violating our agreements and fully commit to them.” He stressed his commitment to peace based on the Arab peace initiative,  and “on justice and international legitimacy.”

 

He also voiced his objection to temporary resolutions or borders under any future peace accord, and urged the Jewish state to release security prisoners jailed in Israel and stop building in settlements.
