Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas has rejected a US plan for the Zionist entity to keep occupation troops n a future Palestinian state along its strategic border with Jordan, a Palestinian source said on Friday.

The source said that following a meeting on Thursday evening with US Secretary of State John Kerry in the West Bank city of Ramallah, "Abbas has rejected the ideas presented by the secretary of state.”

Abbas also gave Kerry a letter on "Palestinian red lines", the source added, singling out "the refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state".
Abbas "rejected the ideas on security because there is not a third party".

This refers to a plan by former US national security adviser James Jones under which a third party would deploy along the Palestinian-Jordanian border.
The Palestinian source said that "all disputed issues must be settled".

Media reports said that the plan envisaged by Washington would see Tel Aviv maintain a military presence on the border after a peace agreement with the Palestinians.

An international force would be acceptable to the Palestinians, but the Zionist entity opposes such a proposal.
