Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Wednesday accused those behind the "kidnapping" in the West Bank of three Israeli teenagers last week of wanting to "destroy" the Palestinians.

Abbas, in his address to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting in Jeddah, also vowed not to resort to arms or allow Palestinians to launch another uprising, or Intifada, against 'Israel'.

"It is in our interest to have security coordination with 'Israel' because that would help protect us," he said.

"I say it frankly, we will never have another Intifada—that would destroy us," he added.

In response, Hamas on Wednesday slammed Abbas's support for security coordination with 'Israel'.

"President Abbas's statements on security coordination with 'Israel' are unjustified, harmful to Palestinian reconciliation, and a psychological blow to the thousands of Palestinian prisoners suffering a slow death in the occupation's jails," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement.
