Only 28.2% of Israelis believe that Israel has a partner for peace in negotiations with the Palestinians, according to a new survey conducted by Gal Hadash for Yisrael Hayom. 62.4% say there is no partner for peace.
Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas on Dec. 13 publicly supported a two-state solution and said, “I do not agree with [exiled Hamas chief [Khaled] Mashaal about not recognizing Israel,” Israel National News reported.
But on Dec. 10, the PA’s Al-Hayat Al-Jadida newspaper published a logo for Fatah’s 48th anniversary featuring a map of all of Israel marked as “Palestine,” according to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW). The logo also includes a dove breaking to symbolize the “freeing of all Palestinian prisoners,” a golden dome to represent “both Islam and the Palestinian claim to Jerusalem,” and a rifle for “the Palestinian claim of ownership to houses within Israel,” PMW said.
