Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority said on Sunday that the recently-unveiled United States plan for the PA and Israel is not an opportunity for peace, as it gives the Palestinian people, numbering 13 million only 11 percent of the territory of the state to which they aspire.
Speaking at the PA cabinet meeting, he said there are two scenarios: "The realization of Palestinian rights in accordance with international legitimacy or Israel will assume full responsibility as an occupying force."
