Abbas’ advisor: Israel is “a pawn state serving American and colonialist goals” to break the Arab nation

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “There is no strategic alliance in the true political sense between the US and Israel. What actually exists is American employment of Israel. Israel is nothing more than an American interest. It is nothing more than a pawn state or pawn entity whose goal is to serve the American and colonialist goals. The US is making sure to keep this entity and state so that it will serve its goals to keep the Arab region divided, backward, and conflict-ridden… The US is interested in continuing the situation (i.e., Israeli counter-terror operation against Hamas). It wants to pressure the Palestinian people, and to break the willpower of the Palestinian people and the Arab nation that is behind it.”
