Abbas’ advisor on Hamas massacre: “Our legitimate right to defend ourselves… Martyrs’ blood will cause victory and holiness to bloom”
Official PA TV, special broadcast on the Hamas terror war:
Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “We are enacting our legitimate right in resisting these invaders by defending ourselves, and defending our holy sites and our people… This occupation is temporary. Regardless of how long it takes, and regardless of how many sacrifices there will be, this occupation will leave sooner or later… We are engaging in defending ourselves. The victory belongs to justice, Allah willing, and we hold onto justice and this justice will triumph. These [Palestinian] Martyrs who we are losing painfully… we are certain that their blood will cause victory and holiness to bloom, Allah willing.”
