    ​(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
     
    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bureau has released the following statement regarding remarks by Mahmud Abbas (Abu Mazen):
     
    "In Brussels Abu Mazen showed his true face. Someone who refuses to meet President Rivlin and Prime Minister Netanyahu for direct negotiations and spreads a blood libel in the European Parliament falsely claims that his hand is extended in peace.
     
    Israel awaits the day when Abu Mazen stops spreading lies and dealing in incitement. Until then, Israel will continue to defend itself against Palestinian incitement, which motivates acts of terrorism."
