Jewish leaders received broad reassurances from Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas but sparred with him on details at an unusual
meeting Wednesday night in Washington.
Abbas dined Wednesday with about 30 national Jewish leaders at an
event hosted by the Center for Middle East Peace, with guests ranging
from former Bush aide Elliott Abrams and two top officials of AIPAC to
the head of the left-leaning J Street. Former National Security
Advisers Sandy Berger and Stephen Hadley also attended.
Abbas reassured the leaders that he — unlike Hamas — recognizes Israel's right to most of its territory.
