| Description | RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas disavowed a newspaper report on Wednesday which quoted him as saying he hoped Israel's interim prime minister, Ehud Olmert, would win upcoming elections.
A senior aide to Abbas said Italy's Corriere della Sera daily misquoted Abbas when it had him saying in an interview: "I hope that Olmert wins ... I know him well, and I believe that I could work with him in a productive way."
Olmert assumed power after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was incapacitated by a January 4 stroke, and his Kadima Party is widely expected to sweep the March 28 poll. |
