RAMALLAH, West Bank, June 14 (Reuters) - A spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed a speech on Sunday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "sabotaging" peace efforts.

"Netanyahu's remarks have sabotaged all initiatives, paralysed all efforts being made and challenges the Palestinian, Arab and American positions," said Nabil Abu Rdainah, noting Netanyahu's demand that Jerusalem be the undivided capital of Israel and that Palestinian refugees not be allowed into Israel.

"This will not lead to complete and just peace," Abu Rdainah said. "His remarks are not enough and will not lead to a solution."
