It's time to find out if this is hyperbole or truth. There's nothing to fear talking with Abbas ... and maybe something to gain.
Could be. I'm not against talking to him, but he needs to explain why they say different things when addressing Arabic crowds and the rest of the world. I don't think it's hyperbole to believe the Palies still want all Jews gone or dead, or they wouldn't keep shelling them. Katyusha rockets are not hyperbole.
Having a nice cup of tea at Trump Tower would be a more appropriate venue than the White House.
