Abbas: Obama lead me on

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that US President Barack Obama lead him on, Newsweek Magazine reported.

According to the article, Abbas notes that he was disappointed by Obama, who gave in to pressure by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and suspended his demand for a construction freeze in the settlements. "We both went up the tree," Abbas told Newsweek. "After that, he came down with a ladder and he removed the ladder and said to me, jump." (Ynet)
