Israel to U.S.: Official PA Incitement Must End

(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon met Wednesday with Lt.-Gen. Paul Selva, the U.S. envoy appointed to monitor the implementation of the Roadmap. Ayalon noted the continued incitement by official Palestinian institutions, including the encouragement of popular violence, naming streets and squares after the mass murderers of innocent civilians, and the continued boycott of Israeli goods and the delegitimization of Israel in the international arena. He noted especially the Palestinian attempt to prevent Israel's acceptance into the OECD. This aggressive behavior by the Palestinian Authority runs counter to the positive atmosphere that Israel is trying to create through continued alleviation of conditions for the Palestinians, with emphasis on the removal of roadblocks and the opening of crossings, support of the Palestinian economy, and a moratorium on building.
