Netanyahu: Abbas's statements a sign he's not ready to continue talks with Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's statements over the weekend show that he is not ready to make the decisions necessary to continue talks with Israel.Netanyahu's statements came during his meeting with the US Vice President Joe Biden Monday night, where both of them discussed the Iranian nuclear file and the current Israel-Palestinain peace negotiations.It's work mentioning that on Saturday, Abbas said that no peace agreement would be possible without East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital. He also refused to recognize Israel as a Jewish State, a principle endorsed by Arab foreign ministers on Sunday. Yet, the most important issue he insisted on during his statment was the refugee issue."Let me put it simply: the right of return is a personal decision. What does this mean? That neither the PA, nor the state, nor the PLO, nor any Palestinian or Arab leader has the right to deprive someone from his right to return," Abbas said.
