U.S. Democratic presidential candidate, for just a very short while longer, Barack Hussein Obama, did not even mention Jerusalem when he met with PA and Fatah umbrella organization leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), according to senior Obama advisor Ambassador Dennis Ross.

Ross issued a statement completely rejecting a Lebanese newspaper's claim that Hussein Obama had promised Abbas to divide Jerusalem. The statement assured, "As someone who was present in Senator Obama’s meeting with the Palestinian leadership, I can state definitively that there were no secret commitments made, and no discussion of Jerusalem whatsoever,"
