Biden Criticizes Abbas for Failing to Condemn Terror Attacks

Jerusalem, 9 March, 2016 (TPS) -- “The United States condemns the terror attacks and condemns the failure of some factions to condemn them,” U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

“If we don’t catch the terrorists, they will reach us, too,” Biden added in a joint statement with Netanyahu. “It cannot be that there are leaders who view this as acceptable behavior. There is no justification for this atrocious violence, and we stand with Israel.”
