Ramallah, September 17, SPA -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will not attend the US-sponsored Middle East peace conference scheduled to be held in November, if Israel continues to refuse to negotiate a binding, meaningful agreement leading toward a final peace deal, a senior aide said Monday. "He will not go if there are no guarantees (that an agreement ofsubstance will be reached). It's better even not to hold it," Abbas'political advisor Nimr Hammad told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA). "Not only him, but none of the Arabs will go," he added.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/483422
