Obama Praises PLO Leader Terrorist Mahmoud Abbas As Someone Who “Consistently Denounced Violence”
Obama on Monday praised Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as someone who “consistently denounced violence” as the two leaders met in the White House to discuss the Mideast peace process.
Obama hosted Abbas for talks Monday as the U.S. pushes Israel and the Palestinians toward accepting a framework for further peace talks.
“Everyone understands the outlines of what [a] peace deal would look like,” Obama said.
But getting there would require both sides to take “very hard, very challenging, tough political decisions and risks,” he conceded.
Obama added that he would stress the importance of the “rule of law” and “transparency” to Abbas.
“I look forward to productive discussions,” he said.
Abbas thanked Obama for welcoming him to the White House and for the “economic and political support the U.S. is extending to the Palestinian state so it can stand on its own feet.”
