Abbas and Fayyad send condolence letters to Netanyahu
PM not working regular schedule during mourning period for his father, but met officials Tuesday and eulogized a former colleague

The Palestinian leadership expressed its condolences Tuesday to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose father Benzion passed away Monday at the age of 102. Both Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad sent letters of condolence to Netanyahu, The Times of Israel has learned.

Although Netanyahu had promised to respond within two weeks to a letter Abbas sent him on April 17, his office has not yet replied, since the prime minister is not working on his regular schedule during the seven-day mourning period for his father.

May God console Bibi and his family among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem
