Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called Friday on the U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to implement the two-state solution in order to achieve peace in the Middle East.
Abbas said in a press conference following a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev in the West Bank city of Jericho that the election of Trump is an American affair and "we have followed up the electoral process for over a year."
He added "what we call on him to do is to accept and work on the implementation of the two-state solution with the establishment of the Palestinian state to live in peace next to the State of Israel."
In response to questions of journalists regarding his position in case he was invited by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold direct bilateral negotiations, Abbas said "we have been and still are, ready for direct talks with the Israeli side."
He went on saying that "Netanyahu must understand that if he does not believe in the two-state solution there will be no peace, and we want him to support the two-state solution on the 1967 borders. If he says that, then everything would be possible."
The peace talks between Palestine and Israel have been stalled since April 2014. The U.S. sponsored talks that lasted for nine months achieved no tangible results.
