Israeli envoy Danon to UN Security Council: Abbas ‘not serious about peace’

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon tells the UN Security Council that “President Abbas is not serious about negotiations or about peace.”

“He came here to distract from his unwillingness to negotiate,” he says, noting that the PA president regularly travels to the US to speak at the UN but has not met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 10 years.

If he was serious about peace “he would be in Jerusalem or Washington, DC,” Danon says.
