Abbas Tells US PA Will Recognize Israel, Says Opposite on PA TV
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said this week he would 'fire Hamas' if the terror group won't recognize Israel,
“I do not demand of Hamas nor any other to recognize Israel, but from the government that works with Israelis in day to day life, yes...”
but sang a different tune on PA TV.

Abbas convinced U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he is sincere in his commitment to force the PA government to formally acknowledge the Jewish State’s right to exist, said the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) Thursday. On PA TV, however, Abbas said “It is not required of Hamas, or of Fatah, or of the Popular Front to recognize Israel.” Abbas is the head of the Fatah party and terror organization, which is currently the minority faction in the PA legislature. “I do not demand of Hamas nor any other to recognize Israel,” said Abbas in Arabic, “but from the government that works with Israelis in day to day life, yes.”
