Abbas: "We will never accept a Palestinian state without Jerusalem as its capital, or give up the right of return"

Headline: "Abbas: Every Palestinian Should See Palestine"
     "President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday that every Palestinian should see Palestine, stressing that the right of return should be a practice, not just a slogan.
'We want every Palestinian to see Palestine,' he said during a meeting with members of the Palestinian Cultural and Educational Forum visiting the West Bank from different Arab countries...
'The Palestinian leadership will never give up the right of return,' he said. 'It will take practical steps to return to the homeland and to end life in exile because the homeland is our final destination.'
'We tell the world that we want a state on the 1967 borders and a fair and agreed on solution based on the Arab peace initiative. But we will never accept a Palestinian state without Jerusalem as its capital.'"
