RAMALLAH, West Bank -Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Monday he will call a referendum on a plan implicitly recognizing Israel after last-ditch efforts to reach an agreement with Hamas on the issue failed.
The meeting ended minutes before a midnight deadline Abbas gave the Islamic militant group, which leads the Palestinian government, for accepting the principle of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
"President Abbas will set a date for the referendum after the meeting Tuesday of the PLO Executive Committee and parliamentary caucuses," a statement from Abbas' office said.
