Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas meets beaten teen in Ramallah

Tariq Khdeir and the mother of Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khudeir meet Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas (not seen) in the West Bank city of Ramallah on 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.
