Abbas calls PM (Netanyahu), wishes a happy Pessah

[Fozzledick]

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas telephoned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning and wished him a happy Passover.

The telephone conversation was the first between the two since Netanyahu entered office as prime minister.

Netanyahu reminded Abbas that the two men had cooperated in the past and said he was planning to do so again toward the goal of peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Abbas said that both sides must make moves to promote peace.

Sources in Jerusalem said that the initiative by the PA president was testimony to his readiness to hold talks with Netanyahu despite relatively bellicose statements coming from Ramallah soon after the establishment of Netanyahu's government.
