"Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday raised the possibility of dissolving the Palestinian Authority if you can not reach a peace agreement with Israel and the world does not recognize a Palestinian state . "
"I can not continue as president of an authority that exists," said Abbas, referring the continued occupation of the West Bank by Israel.
Pressed by the interviewer about whether he meant that dissolve the Palestinian Authority, said: "It's I'm saying. I tell them you are welcome (...) occupants. You're here, stay here, I can not accept that the situation remains like this."
The Palestinian Authority was established following an interim peace accord with Israel in 1993 that gave Palestinians limited autonomy in the West Bank, territory Israel captured in the Six Day War in 1967 and which Palestinians want to build their state .
Palestinian officials have expressed growing frustration over stalled talks with Israel sponsored by Washington, which remained at a standstill shortly after resumed in September by the Israeli settlement issue.
Abbas also reiterated a Palestinian demand for a halt to construction in settlements, which deprives the Palestinians claim the territory for a viable state.
