Netanyahu to Kerry: Palestinians Inciting Against Israel
(Reuters) Dan Williams - "Incitement and peace cannot coexist," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote in a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry sent over the weekend. Netanyahu referred to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' assertion on July 29 that a future Palestinian state "would not see the presence of a single Israeli - civilian or soldier." He also cited an official Palestinian television broadcast of a goodwill visit by the Barcelona football club to the West Bank last week, during which a sportscaster described Israeli towns and cities as Palestinian - as did a singer who performed. "Rather than educate the next generation of Palestinians to live in peace with Israel, this hate education lays the ground for continued violence, terror and conflict," Netanyahu said.
