Abbas refused to meet with [[Israel]]i Prime Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]].

==Corruption & theft==
Abbas is infamous for his despotic ways and his epic corruption. He has amassed a private fortune of hundreds of millions, money diverted from foreign aid<ref>[https://www.everycrsreport.com/files/20140703_RS22967_b85493f25e67192545033f6d00f3a83f53062f44.pdf US Foreign Aid to the Palestinians - Every CRS Report] J Zanotti. 2014</ref> and from louche business deals he has made for himself and his two sons Tareq and Yasser. As well as plain stealing from funds he as given from Arafat's PM when assumed office.<ref>[https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/306179-palestinian-kleptocracy-west-accepts-corruption-people Palestinian kleptocracy: West accepts corruption, people suffer the consequences].

<blockquote>
Abbas' political rival Muhammad Dahlan accuses Abbas of stealing $600 million of the $1.4 billion that Arafat's Prime Minister Salam Fayyad transferred to Abbas when Abbas assumed the Palestinian presidency.
An EU audit of the years 2008-2012 found that 2 billion Euros of its aid were lost to corruption and misappropriation by Palestinian leaders.
The refusal of the international community to hold Abbas and the PA accountable for nepotism and corruption drove Gazan Palestinians into the open arms of Hamas, the terrorist group which promised them reform.
Today, nothing has changed. The West is fixated on creating a Palestinian state no matter how corrupt. Given Abbas' perfidious dictatorship, such a state is doomed to failure. All indications are that President Obama will reward this reprehensible behavior with a rapid path to statehood.</blockquote></ref> in addition to that, instead of ooenly stealing from the P.A., Abbas employed his two sons, Tareq and Yasser.<ref>[https://jewishjournal.org/2019/10/25/for-palestinian-leaders-a-legacy-of-corruption For Palestinian leaders, a legacy of corruption], David Bedein, JJ, Oct 25, 2019</ref> he has provided well-paid government jobs to his own relatives and to the relatives of others in the PA government, assuring their loyalty.
