Netanyahu Tells Abbas: I Will Cooperate for Peace

Readers Number : 269

12/04/2009 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told on Sunday Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose term ended on January 9, that he planned to cooperate with him in order to advance mutual peace efforts.

Abbas called Netanyahu to pass on his good wishes for the Passover holiday. During the conversation, which the Israeli Prime Minister's Office described as warm and friendly, Netanyahu reminded the Palestinian leader of their past cooperation and pledged to make the same efforts in the future.

This was the first conversation held by the two leaders since Netanyahu took office two weeks ago.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Maliki said Sunday that Abbas was planning a trip to Washington in the coming weeks to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama. Riad told the Palestinian daily Al-Ayam that a date has still not be set for the visit, but that it was likely to occur before Netanyahu's own visit.

King Abdullah of Jordan is also planning to visit the White House at the end of the month to urge Obama to move ahead with the Arab peace initiative. Abdullah would be the first Middle East leader to meet with Obama in Washington, ahead of Abbas or Netanyahu.

Never trust this snake, they all say the same thing while working against peace yet pretending to be for it. Abbas is a stupid fool who doesnt represent anyone. he is not a president yet the so called democratic world treats him as a president. Western democracy = double standards. It doesnt matter who runs israel (occupied palestine) be it sharon, barak, olmert or netanyaho, it will all be the same crap and violence and opression. Abbas and arab leaders can continue to beg zionists for peace, they wont get it, they will only continue to make themselves look like fools while at the same time being blamed by the west of not doing enough for peace when in reality they have even sold their souls to please israel who still isent pleased and never will be. FOOLS that is what they are.

ABBAS IS AN OBSTACLE
