Abbas
holds talks with Bakhit in Amman
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Israel had no choice but to
accept the new government.
“This is a Palestinian issue and an Arab issue and it is up to the Israelis to
deal with the fait accompli,” Abbas said before meeting Prime Minister Marouf
Bakhit.
Bakhit was briefed by Abbas on the Mecca agreement, under which, he said, a
Palestinian unity government should be formed “as soon as possible, paving the
way for the resumption of the peace process,” the Jordan News Agency, Petra,
reported.
