PM: Abbas' op-ed is blatant distortion of historic facts

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' opinion piece, which was published in the New York Times, expresses "a blatant distortion of historic, known and documented facts."

"We can conclude from (the article) that the Palestinian leadership sees the establishment of a Palestinian state as way to perpetuate the conflict with Israel instead of ending it." (Attila Somfalvi)
