President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday that despite US Secretary of State John Kerrys efforts, Palestine has so far gotten nothing out of the ongoing peace negotiations with Israel. The problem is with the Israeli side and not with us, Abbas said in an interview on Moroccan television following the Al-Quds Committee meeting in Marrakesh. He spoke the same day Israeli army radio announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had proposed to Kerry that Israel annex a fourth settlement bloc within the West Bank, amounting to approximately 13 percent of the internationally recognized Palestinian territory. Abbas called this kind of shift in borders unacceptable.
