Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Abbas, Olmert to Hold Talks

HeadlineApr 11, 2007

Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced he will hold talks next week with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The meeting would be the first since Arab leaders renewed their five-year-old offer of full peace with Israel in return for its withdrawal from the Occupied Territories. Abbas urged Israel to accept the deal.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: “If Israel withdraws from the occupied Palestinian Arab land, it will live in a sea of peace, stability and normalization. That means from Mauritania to Indonesia, all the countries then have to lift the Israeli flag, if that happens.”
