Reply #8: Mr. Abbas made it absolutely clear that he was speaking of Israeli soldiers and settlers

[Douglas Carpenter]

I can find no evidence to indicate that Mr. Abbas said that Jews would not be welcome in a future state of Palestine - welcomed as equals living as equals not as Israeli soldiers or illegal settlers. Obviously if the State of Israel can decide what Palestinians from outside of Israel's 1948-1967 borders can live inside Israel's 1948-1967 borders even if they were born or their family origins are from inside the 1948-1967 border - I assume a Palestinian state would have similar rights.

Abbas: Jewish NATO soldiers could defend future Palestinian state

Aide denies reports that Palestinian president opposes any Jewish presence in an international force to protect new borders under emerging peace proposals.

By Haaretz Service

Mahmoud Abbas is not opposed to including Jewish soldiers in an international NATO force to be deployed along the borders of a future Palestinian state under a potential permanent peace agreement, the Palestinian president's political adviser said Saturday.

Hamad told Wafa that the American media had quoted Abbas as having said that he would refuse to allow Jewish soldiers on the border between Israel and the Palestinian state. "The remarks attributed to the president are baseless," Hamad said. "The president said in his meetings with AIPAC and with Israeli journalists and world leaders that he welcomes the deployment of an international force regardless of the troops' religion."

Hamad added that Abbas refuses outright to have Israeli soldiers deployed along the borders, regardless of their religion, as "it is common knowledge that there are many non-Jewish soldiers serving in the Israeli army."
