RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian president said Saturday that he would not accept an Israeli peace initiative if it called for temporary borders for a future Palestinian state.
President Mahmoud Abbas’ comments were the highest official response so far to news of a peace plan that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to publicly propose in the coming weeks.
Israeli officials have not unveiled details of the plan, but a Netanyahu aide last week described it as taking “a phased approach,” which Palestinians interpret as meaning temporary borders.
