Abbas from Saudi Arabia: Let the Israeli teenagers go!

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas demanded Wednesday that the abductors of the three Israeli boys, whoever they are, let them go at once. He accused the kidnappers of seeking to “ruin the Palestinian Authority” and vowed they would be held accountable. He was speaking to foreign ministers at a Jeddah gathering of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation. Abbas stressed that IDF cooperation with the Palestinian security agencies is “sacred.” There will be no third intifadada, the Palestinia leader pledged. As for Hamas, “we have another score to settle with them.”
