ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov 27 (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday that "comprehensive and deep" negotiations with the Israelis over all the so-called core issues dividing them must start immediately.

"Tomorrow, we have to start comprehensive and deep negotiations on all issues of final status, including Jerusalem, refugees, borders, settlements, water and security and others," Abbas said at the opening ceremony of the Middle East summit in Annapolis.
