RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he will resume direct peace talks if Israel accepts its 1967 frontier as a baseline for the borders of a Palestinian state and agrees to the deployment of an international force to guard them.
Abbas is under growing pressure from the United States to resume negotiations, and he met Saturday with President Barack Obama’s Mideast envoy, George Mitchell.
Abbas’ latest comments, published Saturday in the Jordanian newspaper Al-Ghad, hinted at some flexibility in his position.
