PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas gave a press conference in Jordan on Sunday in which he said that Israel must make peace with the PA, or face a “disintegration of the security situation in the Middle East,” a reference to possible violence which would result.
Abbas also called on the US to intervene in pressuring Israel to make peace. “The ball is in the US’s court. It needs to ask itself if it wants peace, or to maintain the current situation in which Israel loses the most.”
