Meretz chief: PM’s invite to Abbas nothing but lip service

Meretz leader Zehava Galon dismisses Netanyahu’s invitation for Abbas to address the Knesset as “lip service.”

“No one is buying this invitation to the Knesset for Abbas,” she says, according to Walla. “It was lip service and and empty talk. If Netanyahu wants a [final status] agreement he can take steps to advance it,” she says.

“Netanyahu has rhetoric that sounds wonderful in English, but on the ground he is whitewashing illegal outposts. His words were not meant for Abbas’s ears, but Obama’s ears,” she adds.
