Abbas: Jerusalem Must Be Capital of Palestinian State
(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury - PA President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday in Ramallah that "Al-Quds [the Arabic name for Jerusalem] and everything that was conquered in the 1967 war is part of the Palestinian state." He emphasized that foreign ministers from the Arab League will tell U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry this week that no peace agreement will be reached without eastern Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state. Abbas added that "the right of return is a personal right that no leader can concede."
