Israel 'considering ways' to strengthen Abbas
Israel is considering ways of strengthening Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and may agree to begin talks on a permanent solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict rather than negotiate an interim agreement, Israel Radio reported yesterday.
Ramallah - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel Thursday of trying to sabotage Palestinian achievements - mainly the enforcement of law and order, stability and security in the West Bank - through its military incursions and killing of Palestinians.
