„Joint (Arab) List MK Basel Ghattas said that he felt ashamed after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said in an interview on Israeli television that he opposed knife attacks against Israelis. In a candid interview with Israeli Channel 2’s ‚Uvda‘ program last Thursday, Abbas said he is still willing to make peace with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposes the current attacks against Israelis that began around six months ago. … Ghattas, who faces a three-month suspension from the Knesset for observing a moment of silence while meeting the families of slain Palestinian attackers in February, made the comments to the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi news site.“ (Der Journalist Dov Lieber auf der Website der Times of Israel: „Arab MK ‚ashamed‘ over Abbas saying PA would stop attacks“)
