PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The Israeli aggression is an aggression of more than 7 decades in the West Bank, in the Gaza Strip, in Jerusalem…

Israel is attacking the Palestinian people and lying when it says that it wants to uproot Hamas (i.e., the 2023 Gaza war; see note below). This is a lie. The true goal is to uproot the Palestinian people.”
