Israeli President Rivlin Laments Abbas' "Strange" Refusal to Meet Israeli leaders

(Times of Israel) Stuart Winer - Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Thursday called Abbas' ongoing avoidance of meetings with Israeli leaders "strange" during a joint press conference with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini in Brussels. "Direct talks is the only possible way to build trust to restore the condition for a peace perspective between Israelis and Palestinians," Rivlin said. "I find it strange that President Mahmoud Abbas - my friend Abu Mazen - refused again and again to meet with Israeli leaders." "I was very sorry to learn he rejected such a meeting. We will not be able to build trust between us if we don't begin to speak directly and look at what we can do and what can be done, and not at what cannot be done. And there is a lot, a lot, to be done."
