Palestinians Angry at Obama
The rumors that President Obama would throw Israel under the bus appear to have been greatly exaggerated.
Palestinian moderates say hope in President Obama has “evaporated.”
That’s the damning message contained in a memo circulated among the top leadership of the Palestinian faction Fatah, the faction which is led by the moderate President Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority.
A copy of the internal memorandum was obtained by the Associated Press in Ramallah and its contents confirmed to ABC News by senior Palestinian sources. It accuses the Obama administration of backing down on its calls for an Israeli settlement freeze, a move that sources say has damaged the political credibility of moderate Palestinians.
