[Reuters] Adam Entous - Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has rejected an Israeli peace proposal, Nabil Abu Rdainah, Abbas' spokesman, said on Tuesday. Under the proposal, Israel would give the Palestinians 92.7 percent of the West Bank, plus all of Gaza, according to Western and Palestinian officials briefed on the negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's proposal does not offer a solution to competing claims to Jerusalem, and would only be implemented once Abbas reined in militants and re-established control of Gaza, which Hamas seized a year ago. Olmert's proposal first emerged several months ago and was published in greater detail on Tuesday, prompting Abu Rdainah's response. "The Israeli proposal is not acceptable," he said. "The Palestinian side will only accept a Palestinian state with territorial continuity, with holy Jerusalem as its capital, without settlements, and on the June 4, 1967 boundaries." He called the Israeli proposal a "waste of time." Olmert spokesman Mark Regev said, "We are committed to continuing the effort to try to reach a joint Israeli-Palestinian document." 2008-08-13 08:00:00Full Article
