Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas meets beaten teen in Ramallah

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas (R) checks the face of Tariq Khdeir as he meets the family of Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khudeir in the West Bank city of Ramallah July 7, 2014. An Israeli judge on Sunday released from jail and placed under house arrest Tariq Khdeir, the 15-year-old American of Palestinian descent whose apparent beating by Israeli police in East Jerusalem has drawn U.S. concern. Khdeir from Tampa, Florida, is a cousin of Mohammed Abu Khudeir, 16, whose abduction and killing in Jerusalem on Wednesday sparked violent protests and calls from Palestinians for a new uprising against Israel.
