Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the speech by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the European Parliament, saying that Abbas “showed his true face in Brussels.”
“Someone who refuses to meet the president and myself for direct negotiations, and who spreads blood libels before the European Parliament, is lying when he claims that his hand is extended in peace. Israel is waiting for the day when Abu Mazen stops spreading lies and engaging in incitement,” Netanyahu said, referring to Abbas by his nickname. “Until then Israel will continue to defend itself against Palestinian incitement that motivates acts of terrorism.”
Ya’alon Slams Abu Mazen’s “Malicious Blood Libels” in his EU Speech

Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon responded to Palestinian Authority Chaiman Abu Mazen’s speech at the European Union today.
“Abu Mazen is not only lying as usual, continuing his malicious blood libels against the State of Israel,” wrote Ya’alon, who has announced he will run for prime minister in the next elections, on his Facebook page. “He is also exploiting the healthy democratic discourse in Israeli society, which does not exist in his society, and is putting words in my mouth I did not say.”
Ya’alon was referring to Abu Mazen’s statement that he and Ehud Barak said during the Herzliya Conference last week that Israel was a fascist state. While Barak did make that accusation, Ya’alon did not.
“Abu Mazen’s conduct, speeches and evasions of direct negotiations with Israel without preconditions, are further proof that he never intended to go for an agreement including recognition of our right to exist as the only nation state of the Jewish people,” added Ya’alon.
