Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday rejected any possibility of giving up on the issue of Al-Quds (the Arabic name for Jerusalem –ed.), which he called "the eternal capital of Palestine."
In a speech to the Al-Azhar Conference in support of Al-Quds, Abbas emphasized the right of the Palestinians in Jerusalem based on the "history" and the direct link between the Palestinians and their Canaanite "ancestors" whom he called "Arabs."
