The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office responded to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s speech at the UN in which he – wrongfully – laid the blame for troubles related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict squarely on Israel’s shoulders.
“Abu Mazen’s speech was deceitful and encourages incitement and lawlessness in the Middle East,” the statement read.
“In contrast to the Palestinians, Israel is strictly maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount and is committed to continuing to do so in accordance with the agreements between us and the Jordanians and the Waqf.
“We expect and call on the [Palestinian] Authority and its leader to act responsibly and accede to the proposal of the Prime Minister of Israel and enter into direct negotiations with Israel without preconditions.
“The fact that he – time and again – has refused to do so is the best possible proof of the fact he does not intend to reach a peace agreement.”

Sign the Petition to Stop Funding the Palestinian Authority
Petition to the United States and European Union
We demand that all funding of the PA be stopped immediately. Unity with Hamas led to brutal murders, thousands of rockets and ongoing incitement against Israeli citizens. Prosecuting Israel for “war crimes” is despicable and makes funding the PA against US law.
