    Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh published a statement condemning the attack late Thursday on the Palestinian government-run Wafa news agency site.

    A Palestinian killed three Israelis and seriously wounded another before he was shot dead at a West Bank settlement near Jerusalem.

    Abbas has long been a critic of violence, but has remained quiet in the past when attacks against Israelis took place in the West Bank. He had been under heavy pressure to condemn Tuesday’s shootings.

    Abbas’ condemnation came as President Donald Trump’s Mideast envoy, Jason Greenblatt, is in the region attempting to breathe life into peace talks, which last collapsed in 2014.

    When President Trump fails to comment about a disaster within ten milliseconds of its occurrence, the media are all over him. But when this evil, despicable murderer waits two days, not a peep from the evil media.

    After he celebrated for 2 days, he made his media pitch. May him and his supporters all meet their deserved misah meshunah.
