Abbas: Willing to meet with Netanyahu at UN

Speaking to Fox News on Monday Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he's willing to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations this week. "I will meet any Israeli official any time," said Abbas. "But there is no use if there is nothing tangible."
