President Abbas waves Palestinian map as laid by US Mideast plan, saying the 'Swiss cheese' deal is unacceptable to Palestinians
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas tells UN Security Council the world should reject US President Trump's Mideast plan, calling it a"Swiss cheese" deal that would limit Palestinian sovereignty without bringing lasting peace.
Waving a copy of a map that the US plan envisions for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, Abbas said the state carved out for Palestinians looks like a fragmented "Swiss cheese." Abbas called on Trump to disavow the plan and seek a return to negotiations based on existing UN resolutions that call for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borderlines. He urged the Security Council to hold an international conference to implement a settlement.Suggesting violent protests could break out, Abbas said that "the situation could implode at any moment. ... We need hope. Please do not take this hope away from us.
While the Palestinians have rejected the plan, a number of Arab governments have said it represents a starting point for a renewal of long-stalled negotiations. "If you impose peace it will not last, it cannot last," he said, asking: "What gives you the right to annex these lands?"
