Netanyahu Calls on Abbas to "Give Peace a Chance"
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to the negotiating table in a speech to the Knesset on Wednesday. "I call on Abbas to put preconditions aside and talk. Give peace a chance," Netanyahu said in English, quoting the John Lennon song. Foreign government officials visiting Israel "all know Israel is not the side avoiding negotiations," he said. "Don't have endless talks about starting talks," he said. "We will listen to any initiative and are willing to discuss any offer that is not a dictate."
