Abbas: "Talks with Olmert Produced No Results"
[MEMRI] An interview with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas appeared in the Egyptian weekly October on July 12, 2009: Q: There are Israeli leaks regarding a concession in the Palestinian position on the issue of Jerusalem. [What is your response?] Abbas: "The one who said that was [former Israeli prime minister Ehud] Olmert. From Annapolis until the end of his term, negotiations over borders, Jerusalem, and the refugees continued, but no results were achieved.... Olmert placed a proposal on the table and he spoke of the Haram [Al-Sharif - the Temple Mount], the Mount of Olives, and the cemetery, and said: 'All this area is the Holy Basin. We propose that it be overseen by an international committee.'...In the end, we did not agree on anything."
