(IsraelNN.com) U.S. President Barack Obama met Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas Thursday and said afterwards that the PA must stop anti-Israel incitement.
"I do share Pres. Abbas’s feelings and I believe that many Israelis share the same view, that time is of the essence, that we can’t continue with the drift… with the sense of increased fear and resentments on both sides,” Obama told press representatives.
“I also mentioned to President Abbas in a frank exchange that it was very important to continue to make progress in reducing the incitement and anti-Israel sentiments that are sometimes expressed in schools and mosques and in the public square,” Obama added, “because all those things are impediments to peace.”
