Terror will continue unless Israel comes to an end - Abbas’ advisor
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “Without ending the occupation (i.e., Israel) we will continue to go from one cycle of violence to another. It is the problem. If there is occupation, there is resistance (i.e., violence and terror). The resistance is the result, and the occupation is the cause.”
