Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also reacted to Abbas' remarks, using the nickname by which the Palestinian leader is known in the region. In a statement, he said that "Abu Mazen's attack on the U.S. ambassador, David Friedman, says it all. For the first time in decades, the American administration has stopped pampering the Palestinian leaders and tells them, 'That's it.' Apparently the shock of the truth has caused them lose their cool."
