"We are fully committed to the peace process so that we can reach a final settlement that ultimately will lead to the creation of an independent Palestinian state that would live side-by-side in peace and security with Israel," Abbas said.

Abbas said negotiators will need to overcome "several difficulties" but that the Palestinians are committed to the process…….

Obama is due to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week in Washington as he tries to keep up the momentum in peace negotiation.
