Hope you're doing well. Second, the day after Abbas was on TV, every Fatah official possible made sure to state to the Arab media that he didn't really mean what he said. PLO/PA/Fatah's position has always been to use the creation of a Pal State as a stepping stone to destroying Israel. Just because he himself might have given up hope of returning to Tzfat, he's not giving up hope of inundating TA, Jlem, Modiin, and every other Israeli city with millions of Arabs currently residing in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, etc etc etc.
