Report: Abbas Does Not Rule Out Resuming Armed Conflict with Israel

[Ynet News] Roee Nahmias - Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday that he does not completely rule out the possibility of resuming the armed conflict with Israel.

Abbas also said he objects to Israel's definition as a Jewish state: "We negated the concept in the Annapolis peace conference and it almost ended because of it...they wanted us to state we recognize Israel as a Jewish state in the closing statements, but we wouldn't hear of it."
