Conference of Presidents Welcomes Strong U.S. Condemnation of PA Incitement

(Conference of Presidents) Alan Solow, Chairman, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said that the continuing acts of deliberate incitement by Palestinian Authority leaders is unacceptable and a true obstacle to peace.
