Netanyahu Blasts Abbas' Speech as Irresponsible Incitement
(Ynet News-Prime Minister's Office) Attila Somfalvi - The Prime Minister's Office on Sunday blasted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for his declaration that Jerusalem has always been and will remain an Arab city at the International Conference for the Defense of Jerusalem in Doha, Qatar. The Prime Minister's Office released a statement saying: "It's time for the Palestinian leadership to stop denying the past and distorting reality. For thousands of years, Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish people. The city allows the freedom of worship for everyone, and Israel will continue to devotedly protect the holy sites of all religions." "Abbas knows well that his slanderous statements are groundless - including the baseless and irresponsible remarks about the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The State of Israel expects that one who supposedly aspires for peace would prepare his people for peace and co-existence instead of spreading lies and incitement. This is not how one makes peace."
