Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesperson for Abbas, announced on Monday that Palestinians “would not deal with any Israeli government unless it is completely committed to peace”.
In a statement published by the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, Abu Rudeineh said the Palestinian side was fully committed to a two-state solution.
“We will not deal with an Israeli government unless it is committed to comprehensive peace, the two-state solution, the road map, the Arab peace initiative and stopping settlements,” the statement said.
