Abbas Aide: Obama Never Promised Us Eastern Jerusalem
[Maan News-PA] An aide to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday denied reports that American presidential candidate Barack Obama informed him that he would support the Palestinians' right to eastern Jerusalem. Nimar Hamad called the claims "completely false," adding that the reports are a "perversion of Obama's declarations." Hamad insisted that during Obama's meeting with Abbas in Ramallah, Obama promised to activate the peace process in accordance with the Road Map and other signed agreements between the Palestinians and Israel.
