Abbas’ advisor: Hamas’ massacre on Israel was just “the reaction,” Israel is “foundation of all the problems in the region”

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The occupation is the foundation of all the problems in the region. If there were no occupation, there would be no conflict… The essence of the issue is the occupation’s existence. Everything that the Palestinians are doing is a reaction to the occupation.”

Egyptian TV host: “True.”

Al-Habbash: “Why do they judge the reaction without judging the action itself?”

Host: “True.”
