Peres props his puppet

The Israeli president pleaded with Abbas to stay in office.

Peres is Abbas’ longtime friend. He nurtured Abbas from a Tunisian nobody into the world’s most prominent peacemaker. Before the Oslo Accords, Peres established illegal contacts with Abbas. His puddle Yossi Beilin negotiated with Abbas in Cairo, promising Palestinian votes for Rabin in return for abandoning East Jerusalem to the PLO. After Arafat’s death, Peres brought Abbas to power.

But Peres already supports jailed terrorist Marwan Barghouti as a replacement for Abbas.
