Israel’s “true goal is not to eliminate Hamas” but to “eliminate” the Palestinians, says Abbas’ advisor
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The true goal of the [Israeli] war is not to eliminate Hamas (i.e., Israeli counter-terror operation against Hamas). This is a lie or excuse that Israel is using to carry out a plan or plot that is larger and more important for them, and it is emptying Palestine of its residents and eliminating the Palestinian cause.”
