Abbas: Stop settlers from running wild
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is furious over Thursday night's arson at a mosque in the West Bank village of Yasuf. Abbas met Friday afternoon with Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi (United Arab List-Ta'al) in Amman, and told him, "The torching of the mosque is a despicable crime. The settlers' actions are brutal." Addressing the peace process, the Palestinian president clarified that the talks with Israel would not be resumed until the Jewish state freezes construction in all settlements, including east Jerusalem. Tibi meets with Abbas from time to time at the Palestinian ambassador's home in the Jordanian capital. This time, the two discussed various issues for about an hour and a half. "He was very angry about the mosque and the harm caused to Palestinians in their olive groves, but also determined and firm in his stance in terms of the peace process," the MK told Ynet. (01,24)
