[ 07/08/2010 - 02:42 PM ]

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Nimir Hammad, the political advisor to former PA chief and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, said that Abbas accepts the deployment of an international force on the Palestinian borders regardless of its members' religion.

Hammad said in a statement to Abbas's news agency on Saturday that Abbas had clearly stated on many occasions and during meetings with international officials, the IPAC, and Israeli journalists that he did not mind the religion of those forces.

Abbas, however, said that he would reject any Israeli soldier regardless of his religion, Hammad added, noting that the Israeli army included other religions besides Judaism.

Media reports said that Abbas would not accept a Jewish soldier among the international or NATO forces to be deployed along the Palestinian-Israeli borders in the event an independent Palestinian state was established.
