Mahmoud Zahar
Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar told reporters on Sunday that Palestinians do not have a problem with the Jewish religion, but rather, with Israeli occupation carried out by Jews. "There is no place for Israel on this land," Zahar told Xinhua on Sunday.
The FM added that he was certain the goal would be realized, and that he did not rule out the possibility of Jews, Muslims and Christians living together in a future Islamic state of Palestine.
Zahar also reiterated his opposition to peace negotiations with neighboring Israel, stating that Israel had no intention of upholding an agreement with the Palestinians or seeking peace, and that his party could therefore not accept a two-state solution in which a Palestinian state was created alongside an Israeli one.
"Israel doesn't want peace nor does it have any peace project. Therefore, we told our people and tell them that there will be no negotiations," he explained.
