Israel: Abbas Is No Longer Part of the Solution
(Jerusalem Post) Daniel J. Roth - "[The Palestinians] need leadership that will speak to Israel and not run away from dialogue," Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said Tuesday as PA President Mahmoud Abbas walked out of the Security Council hall to avoid hearing the Israeli envoy's comments. "You just addressed the members of the Security Council and spoke of your commitments to peace. This is what you often do when speaking to international forums," Danon said. "But, when you address your people, you convey a very different message." "You have made it official Palestinian policy to sponsor terrorism. In 2017, you spent $345 million paying terrorists for killing innocent Israelis. That is 50% of the total foreign aid donated to the PA. This is money you could have spent building 40 hospitals. This is money you could have used to build over 170 schools - every single year."
