Abbas Meets With Family of Murdered Palestinian Teen

Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, met with the parents of slain teen Mohammed Abu Khdeir on July 7. Khdeir was believed to have been abducted and murdered in a revenge killing the previous week, following the abduction and murder of three Israeli teens. A visibly bruised cousin of Khdeir’s can be seen in the background. He was allegedly beaten by Israeli police during a protest over his cousin’s death.

Tarek Abu Khdeir, Mohammed Abu Khdeir’s Palestinian-American cousin, was charged with taking part in clashes with police. He spoke to the press on July 6 after a court hearing. See video here. Credit: YouTube/President M.Abbas
