Netanyahu’s office says Abbas ‘showed true face in Brussels’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Prime Minister’s Office says Abbas “showed his true face in Brussels.”
“Someone who refuses to meet with the president and Prime Minister Netanyahu for direct talks, who propagates a blood libel in the European parliament, is lying when he says his hand is outstretched in peace,” the office says in a statement.
“Israel awaits the day when Abu Mazen stops spreading lies and dealing in incitement. Until then, Israel will continue to defend itself against Palestinian incitement, which motivates terror attacks.”
Earlier, Abbas had refused to meet with Rivlin. In his speech at the EU, he quoted a hoax story about rabbis urging the poisoning of Palestinian wells and blamed Israel for fomenting terrorism.
