Trump removes tweet saying it was 'honor' to host Abbas

The tweet did contain a grammatical error, with the word "of" being left out of the second sentence, but unlike past Trump tweets with grammatical errors, the tweet about President Abbas has not been corrected and reposted.

The pair held a joint press conference on Wednesday, trading pleasantries and expressing their shared desire to strike a deal that would end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A caricature in the daily depicts Abbas, dressed in his underwear, begging to a Donald Trump dressed as the Statue of Liberty. "That's unfortunately not true", Netanyahu said Thursday.

Among them, the right of return for Palestinians to lands now held by Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem and based on 1967 borders.

The Netanyahu government, like those before it, has expanded settlements on war-won lands, despite USA appeals to curb construction.

President Trump has made his son-in-law Jared Kushner his Middle East convoy with this special task of bringing peace between Israel and Palestine.

Prime Minister Netanyahu called out Abbas' egregious lie. Abu Mazen is nickname by which Abbas is sometimes referred to.

"The president raised concerns about the payments to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails who have committed acts of terror and to their families", Spicer said.

Circuit Court of appeals, whose jurisdiction covers North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesotia, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Arkansas. Now, instead, with Justice Gorsuch having taken his seat on the bench, Kennedy is once again at the center of American law.

"Trump and Abbas reaffirmed the commitment of both the U.S. and the Palestinian Authority to achieve a genuine and lasting peace between the Israelis and Palestinians", the White House said.

"But I hope that it's possible to achieve a change and to pursue a genuine peace", Netanyahu added. "This is something Israel is always ready for.", Mr Netanyahu said.

Palestinian officials expressed uncharacteristic optimism ahead of the meeting. It looks that as Abbas droned on and on, Trump looked like he'd rather be anyplace else. The two leaders agreed to continue close consultations.

Trump, however, is not daunted by the challenge of bringing together Israelis and the Palestinians.

"And it will be to the credit of the civilised world and the American administration to stop the darkness that we have been suffering from for many years".

In recent weeks alone, Breitbart Jerusalem has documented several examples of the PA's attempts to incite violence against Israel through its official media and educational mediums. Hamas has dismissed Abbas' strategy of negotiations as a waste of time and said he does not represent the Palestinians.

The Palestinians want to set up a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war.

Hamas says it would not bow to pressure from Abbas.
