Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video message Friday laying out steps toward peace to Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority.
"Every Israeli and Palestinian child deserves a life of hope, of tranquility and opportunity. I will continue to work tirelessly for peace. It’s time that you join this effort," Netanyahu said.
The Palestinian Authority pays roughly 10 percent of its budget annually to terrorists who attack Israelis and financially rewards the killers of Jews. Netanyahu called for Abbas to allocate funding toward co-existence education, rather than violence.
In addition, he laid out examples of Palestinian authorities such as advisor Sultan Abu al Einein advocating and praising the slaughter of Israelis. As Netanyahu noted, one Palestinian terrorist "turned these words into action" and stabbed to death 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel as she slept.
"Advocating genocide is not consistent with peace," Netanyahu said.
The full statement was as follows:
"President Abbas, since over the past several years, you refused to meet with me and sit down and negotiate peace, I hope you’ll hear this message.
"First, your advisor, Sultan Abu al Einein recently called to slit the throat of every Israeli.
"Three days later, a Palestinian terrorist turned these words into action when he slit the throat of a 13-year-old beautiful girl, Hallel Yaffa Ariel, as she slept. She was a little, innocent girl. She didn't deserve this. I ask that you fire this advisor because advocating genocide is not consistent with peace.
"Second, your party recently praised a terrorist on Facebook who murdered 24 civilians, innocent Israelis in cold blood. I ask that you to pick up the phone and instruct your party's social media manager to stop praising mass murderers. Impressionable children read these posts. They should be taught harmony, not hate. Such words seriously harm the chances of peace.
"Third, next week the Palestinian Authority will dedicate a monument to Abu Sukar. Abu Sukar murdered 15 people by detonating a refrigerator filled with explosives on a busy Jerusalem street.
"Rather than dedicate a statue to a mass murderer, I ask that you consider honoring a champion of co-existence. This will help educate future generations to love peace over war, compassion over violence. It will also help convince Israelis that they have a true partner for peace.
"Fourth, the PLO currently pays a monthly salary to anyone who murders Jews. This money provides direct incentive to commit terror. I ask that you stop paying murderers and instead use this money to fund co-existence education. Teach tolerance, not terror.
"Every Israeli and Palestinian child deserves a life of hope, of tranquility and opportunity. I will continue to work tirelessly for peace. It’s time that you join this effort."
