Israel to White House: Stop Anti-Israel Palestinian Incitement
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - The Prime Minister's Office issued a complaint to the White House several days ago lamenting ongoing incitement against Israel by Palestinian leaders. In the complaint, senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office urged their American counterparts to demand that Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas cease to glorify the memory of terrorists who murdered Israelis. The complaint noted recent incidents beginning with a ceremony in Ramallah at which Abbas inaugurated a town square named in honor of Dalal Mougrabi, a female terrorist responsible for the deaths of dozens of Israelis aboard a bus in 1978. The PA also failed to condemn the recent terror attack in which Rabbi Meir Chai was killed in a drive-by shooting in the West Bank two weeks ago by Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades operatives, the armed wing of Abbas' Fatah party. Later, senior PA officials visited the homes of those who carried out the attack after they had been killed by the Israel Defense Forces.
