U.S. Peace Envoy Blasts Abbas for Denying Jerusalem's Jewish Connection
(Times of Israel) Dov Lieber - "Pres. Abbas states about Jerusalem: 'it is Arab, Muslim, and Christian.' And makes no mention of any Jewish ties. Nothing peaceful or productive can come from statements like this," U.S. Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt said Thursday in a series of tweets. "Lasting peace will not be achieved by denying Judaism's thousands of years of ties to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is holy to Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Peace can ONLY be based on truth."
