Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has voiced optimism regarding peace prospects with Israel following a meeting with President Donald Trump’s special representative for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt.

According to a statement released by Abbas’s office after Tuesday’s meeting, the PA leader informed Greenblatt that he believes “that under President Trump’s leadership a historic peace deal is possible, and that it will enhance security throughout the region. President Abbas said he looked forward to discussing the possibilities for peace directly with President Trump during his upcoming visit to Washington.”

The PA’s statement also included a commitment by Abbas to prevent “inflammatory rhetoric and incitement,” with the goal of de-escalating tension between Israel and the Palestinians. Abbas pledged to increase “outreach efforts to the Israeli public” in order to create an atmosphere that is conducive to peace talks.

Israel’s government has often accused PA leaders and official media outlets of incitement that foments violence against Israelis, especially during the wave of Palestinian terrorism that stretched from October 2015 through the first half of 2016. Palestinian Media Watch, an organization that monitors and translates Palestinian news reports and social media content, has long documented this trend of incitement.

Greenblatt’s meeting with Abbas followed the Trump adviser’s five-hour meeting Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Jerusalem. Greenblatt and Netanyahu discussed a broad range of issues, including Israeli settlement construction and methods for bolstering the Palestinian economy. JNS.ORG

  1. how can he be true if he issued again an all-out terror war on Israel from ALL PALESTINIANS including his Fatah party – this must be FAKE NEWS

    • He is talking from both sides of his mouth. He’s playing nice in public, while declaring jihad to his people. Nothing new in that culture.

  2. With Trump and Netanyahu being friends, Abbas has realized that he better get with the program. Trump is not going to tolerate the shenanigans.

  3. Why even quote this shekker. All tge Palestinians want is war and death. It’s in their blood… it’s their essence. May Hashem wipe them all off the face of the earth.

  5. Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t waste a nanosecond of your time on this offer. It’s merely Abbas once again playing Lucy offering Charlie Brown a chance to kick the football before yanking it away. Abbas, now in the twelfth year of his four-year term, has never, ever made or entertained a serious offer for a lasting peace with Israel.
