MK Akram Hasson met last Tuesday with Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.

Hasson: "The meeting was at the initiative of Palestinian Authority Chief Abu Mazen. We sat in private for an hour, and he presented to me his desire to move forward with the peace process in the region, and his actions to fight the phenomenon of knife-attackers, which include, among other things, thorough and rigorous searches in schools in the PA."
