On the other hand, the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas said on Monday that “Israel didn’t make any efforts in favor of the peace process, stressing “Palestinian Authority will not return to direct talks unless Israel agrees to full settlement freeze, and accepts the principle of the two-state solution based on 1967 borders.”
