In an unprecedented move Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday stipulated the amount of land required for a future Palestinian state.Not even if we could give it back to you the way we found it.
Abbas called for a complete Israeli withdrawal from land occupied after the 1967 Six-Day War.
Abbas' demands were made in the midst of ongoing talks between Israeli and Palestinian negotiation teams as they attempt to formulate a joint statement in advance of the US-sponsored autumn peace summit in November.
Abbas made his declarations during an interview with Palestine TV and stated that the Palestinians require a future state on 6,205 square kilometers of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"We have 6,205 square kilometers in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip," said Abbas. "We want it as it is."
