AJC Deplores Abbas Threat to Abandon Peace Agreements with Israel

AJC is dismayed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s threat to abandon agreements with Israel, and turn to the UN to try to resolve the conflict.

“Unilateralism is not policy,” said AJC Executive Director David Harris. “Rejectionism is not policy. Victimization is not policy. Tragically, President Abbas is pursuing a dead-end strategy. The path to an enduring two-state accord is at the negotiating table with Israel. The day that the Palestinian leader recognizes this essential and inescapable truth is the day that will usher in a sense of hope and promise for an end to the conflict.”
