The Jerusalem Post reports: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris Saturday afternoon.

Saeb Erakat, the chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, told reporters that Abbas expressed his full support for the French initiative in the meeting, according to Wafa, the official Palestinian Authority news site.

Erakat added that Abbas made clear that amending the Arab Peace Initiative is unacceptable.

He also revealed that the Palestinian president condemned the recent terror attacks in France and stated further that the Palestinian territories are part in parcel of the war on terror, saying there is no difference between a criminal killing a journalist and an extremist burning the Dawabsheh family.

Moreover, Erakat remarked that Abbas resolved that the region needs peace and stability, which can be achieved by establishing a Palestinian state.
