Fayyad rejects interim state, says Jordan eastern border of future Palestine

Fayad rules out interim

Amid reports that a plan was in the works in Israel to offer the Palestinians an interim state, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad ruled out the idea. Speaking on a tour of the Jordan Valley on Sunday, Fayyad said the PA would not accept "a state of crumbs or a temporary solution," insisting that Jordan be the eastern border of a Palestinian state.
