Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas called Thursday, May 19 the Palestinian leadership to "an emergency meeting," after Bush's speech, Barack Obama. The president of the Palestinian Authority also called the Jewish state to "give peace a chance it deserves." For its part, Hamas called Obama "concrete actions" for Palestinian rights and not to "add slogans.
In his speech, Bush asserted that the borders of Israel and a future Palestinian state should be based on those of 1967. "The gradual and complete withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the idea of a Palestinian responsibility for security in a sovereign state and non-militarized," he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately rejected on Thursday any "withdrawal to 1967 lines." "We'll agree on the duration of this period of transition, and the effectiveness of security arrangements should be demonstrated," said Bush. Barack Obama had also warned the Palestinians against any attempt to "isolate Israel symbolically to the UN in September." While Fatah of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Islamist movement Hamas have engaged in a reconciliation, Mr.
Obama warned that "the Palestinians will not achieve independence by denying Israel's right to exist".
