Abbas also mentioned that he is currently conducting a "constructive dialogue" with the US government aimed at restoring Pakistan-US relations.
He said: "As far as Palestine is concerned, we will do our best to succeed in this endeavour to create conditions conducive to a speedy conclusion of a final political settlement and an end to Israel's occupation of our country."
However, he warned that Israel’s current and previous governments “have been circumventing a two-state solution based on international law and United Nations resolutions.”
He added: “Unilateral plans will not bring security and stability to anyone because they will undermine efforts to achieve true peace, prolong the occupation and consolidate the reality of an apartheid country.”
According to Abbas, "now is a critical moment" and the region is at a "crossroads."
He said: "We have stretched out our hands for peace time and time again, but we still cannot find a partner in Israel who believes in and accepts the two-State solution."
