(Worthy News) – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas turned down an offer of billions of dollars in return for making concessions on Jerusalem and accepting the city as the united capital of Israel, Mahmoud Habbash, a senior adviser to the PA president, said on Monday.
“President Abbas was offered billions of dollars to just say that we are prepared to reach understandings on Jerusalem so that it would become the united capital of Israel,” Habbash said in a speech during a ceremony marking the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday.
“President Abbas told them: All the billions of dollars in the world will not make me give up one inch of the soil of Jerusalem.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
