Abbas’ advisor: US is “the decision-maker,” Israel only “carries out its policies”
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The decision-maker is the American administration (refers to Israeli counter-terror operation against Hamas) and not the Israeli government. The Israeli government is only carrying out the American administration’s policies.”
