Israeli envoy to Abbas: You’re the problem, not the solution
Israeli envoy to the UN Danny Danon blames Abbas for the absence of an Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
“Mr. Abbas, you have made it clear with your words and your actions, you are no longer part of the solution. You are the problem,” Danon says.
He attacks Abbas for speaking differently to Palestinian and international audiences. He takes aim at Abbas for claiming Israel is a European colonial state and that Jews have no claim to the Temple Mount.
“You inspire a culture of hate in Palestinian society,” he says.
