Netanyahu: Stopping Palestinian payments to terrorists key to finding peace
Netanyahu says his friendship is “deeply, deeply appreciated.”
“Together we can destroy the forces of militant Islam … and terror,” he says, adding that it must be fought the same wherever it is.
Netanyahu says he hopes Abbas’s condemnation of attack is a sign of change, pointing to the fact that Palestinian attackers are given stipends from the PLO.
“I believe this is the first and the crucial step toward a genuine peace that Israel seeks and that I believe together with you we can achieve, working with you i believe we can advance a peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and the Palestinians”
He credits joint challenges against Iran as well as “the leadership you bring to this process.”
