RAMALLAH, November 15, 2005 (WAFA-PLO News Agency) -President Mahmoud Abbas
said that establishing the free and independent Palestinian state is not
impossible and it has to be established on our terms and conditions.
.
In a televised keynote address Tuesday on the 17th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence by the late President Yasser Arafat in Algiers,
President Abbas revealed that our real battle revolves around founding a
Palestinian state according to our conditions and not of Israeli occupation
one.
.
"A free and independent state is not beyond the realms of possibility, even
if it is late in seeing the light of day," the President said.
.
Abbas accused the Israeli government to impose a unilateral solution based
on establishing a Palestinian state on temporary borders, subjected to
Israeli surveillance, and divided by colonies to finally be turned into
cantons. He added "Israel was acting as though it had no peace partner."

The President also accused the Israeli government to turnover all peace
agreements and international peace projects, adding that the Israeli
intentions are focusing on flaming a Palestinian civil war.
