Abbas Says 'No Peace' in Mideast without End to Israel Occupation
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said only an Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories can bring peace to the Middle East, as the UAE and Bahrain signed normalization accords with Israel.
"Peace, security and stability will not be achieved in the region until the Israeli occupation ends," he said in a statement after the signing in Washington of the deals, condemned by the Palestinians as a "betrayal" of their cause.
