BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- PLO Central Committee member Nabil Amro said Friday that there is a possibility that the Palestinian leadership could recognize Israel as a Jewish state in some form.

Amro told Ma'an that some form of recognition could be accepted by the current leadership but would need to be approved by a popular referendum.

The PLO official said that US officials must present an acceptable form of recognition, but what is currently being proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is unacceptable.

"If that was one of the main obstacles in US Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts, then the active and determined Kerry has to overcome it without embarrassing Abbas or weakening any possible agreement between Palestinians and Israelis," Amro said.
