President Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for the first time on Friday, and invited him to the White House, a Palestinian spokesman said.
The call was the first contact between the two leaders, coming after complaints by Palestinian officials that they have failed to establish contact with the Trump administration. According to a senior Palestinian official, the conversation lasted only several minutes. The official added that Trump told Abbas that he knows he is committed to peace.
"President Donald Trump invited President Abbas to visit the White House very soon," spokesman Nabil Abu Rdainah said after the phone call.
According to the Abu Rdainah, Trump wants to discuss with Abbas ways to resume the peace process. The U.S. president stressed his commitment to a process that will lead to true peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Abbas, on his part, emphasized his commitment to peace as a strategic stance, in order to bring about a Palestinian state side-by-side with the State of Israel.

“Why should they face American wrath for killing Israelis? “
American “wrath” can take many forms. We could stop by cutting off any money we send them. Tell them that so long as they seek to kill Israelis, don’t expect us th give them a dime.
disgusting, just DISGUSTING!
Dear President Trump, we elected you to get the Moslem terrorist murderers, gangsters, moles, spies, and sabouteurs OUT of our government (and to destroy them whereever they are).
We did not elect you, sir, to invite some of the worst Moslem mass-murderer terrorist gangsters into the White House!
I am SOOOOOOO disappointed, disgusted with this news report.... that I cannot continue to post this comment without vulgarity. SO I am signing off now to avoid vulgarity, but letting Abbas murder gangster anywher into USA would be ... a HORRIBLE STAIN on your presidency, sir. Just HORRIBLE! Please, please reconsider....(and fire the aide who dared suggest such a terrible thing to you, I think you still have some sabouteurs on the staff there, sir, they’re trying to destroy your presidency..)
The Palis could be a bunch of angels and they still shouldn’t get a dime from us. Our role as the piggy bank of the world needs to end.
SICKENING! Just SICKENING!
if for no other reason, USA has been FUNDING this mass murdering Moslem terrorist....
(Obama used American taxpayer funds to send to all of his IslamoNazi terrorist regimes and murder gangs including PLO/Abbas!)
we need to repair Obama’s damage (at home YES YES but also overseas with our allies insofar as we reasonably can, imho)
anyway that’s my 2 cents worth.
“The Palis could be a bunch of angels and they still shouldn’t get a dime from us. Our role as the piggy bank of the world needs to end.”
While that is surely true, If some money would stop the killing, it would be a good investment. That said, I wouldn’t hold my breath that Abbas would ever buy in.
More winning! /sarc.
“Hi Mahmoud, come on in. Want some coffee? Just wanted to say, the two-state solution is dead and we’re moving our embassy to the Old City. Come visit! Take care.”
I can’t believe president Trump would even think of having a Moslem mass murder terrorist gangster visit the White House ,,,, it is positively SICKENING!!!!!!
It would be a great time to have a pork barbecue!
I would never shake hands with that filthy, murderous muslim.
It’s as if the Trump election is a Muslim-Arab-Marxist-communist-leftist-liberal-Obama-Clinton-GOP conspiracy. If so, conservatives have been totally deceived!
You may be correct; however, the presumably well-informed folks that Trump has decided to rely on in this matter seem to disagree. Even if he has no real power as you suggest, he may nonetheless be deemed an effective messenger.
....he may nonetheless be deemed an effective messenger.
