Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas was reportedly angered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s proposal to form a Palestinian capital in only the neighborhood of Beit Hanina, and not all of eastern Jerusalem. Abbas and Kerry spent two days in Paris negotiating the terms for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Kerry also proposed a possible territorial exchange that would grant Israel the right to go ahead with 10 Jewish community construction projects in the disputed territories. Kerry did not include the Jordan Valley as part of a future Palestinian state, but agreed not to put an international security force in the area. Kerry reiterated the core U.S. demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
The Palestinian daily newspaper Al-Quds reported that Abbas called Kerry’s proposal “insanity” and threatened to “overturn tables.” On Wednesday, Kerry admitted that the current peace talks will likely go on beyond their April deadline. “Then we get into the final negotiations. I don’t think anybody would worry if there’s another nine months, or whatever it’s going to be… But that’s not defined yet,” he said.

Kerry would do better negotiating with his miserable PLO-supporting wife
I agree
Abbas is right. The Kerry deal is crazy. Israel shoudnt give away even an inch of Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh.

I did not post this.
The real Charlie Hall
This is the first true thing Abbas ever said, this is a big step forward for the PLO. Thank you Kerry for the great work, you actually accomplished something, after 15 trips on tax payers money. You got Abbas to say the truth!!

I must have had a senior moment..I guess I did post this.
The real Charlie Hall
Which is the real Charlie Hall, the one signed “Charlie Hall” or the one signed “The real Charlie Hall”? It would seem a “fake Charlie Hall” would sign “real Charlie Hall”. And maybe there are 3 Charlie Halls; Charlie Hall, The real Charlie Hall, and the Charlie Hall with his senior moment.
Not Charlie Hall
Oh dear. I hope that I spent the last few years with the correct Charlie Hall.
He’s right. Forget the talks and let Israel annex it all
#9- That’s the best thing I’ve heard all day.
