Abbas says Middle East peace only possible when Palestinians get full rights

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday that Middle East peace was not achievable until the Palestinians are granted "full rights", an apparent reference to a possible U.S.-brokered normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"Whoever thinks peace in the Middle East is possible before our people achieved their full right is wrong," Abbas said in a speech at the U.N. General Assembly.
