Israel's 'partner in peace'

I read that Israel's 'partner in peace' Mahmoud Abbas, the man who was elected to serve until 9 January 2009 but unilaterally extended his term for another year and continues in office even after that deadline expired, has now said that 'he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, Israel Radio reported on Tuesday.'

I wonder if the BBC will report this statement or will they prefer to portray the only obstacles to peace as being the building of Jewish settlements? Also will the BBC mention the illegitimacy of Mahmoud Abbas's presidency is that too verbotten at the BBC, an organisation that seems more anti-Israel by the day.
