Palestinian President Reaches out to Israel, Backs Talks

Palestinian President Reaches out to Israel, Backs Talks
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Mar 31, 2016, 4:13 PM ET
The Palestinian president has reached out to Israel, saying he opposes near-daily Palestinian attacks on Israelis and suggesting the violence would stop if the defunct peace process resumes again.
Mahmoud Abbas made the remarks in an interview Thursday with Israeli Channel 2 TV's "Uvda" program. Israel has accused him of failing to condemn the wave of attacks that erupted in mid-September.
The Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings but also shootings and car-ramming assaults, have killed 28 Israelis and two Americans.
Abbas says the violence stems from "lack of hope, lack of trust" in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment to a two-state solution.
