Abbas’ advisor: All Hamas terrorists in Gaza are “civilians”

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “What is happening in the Gaza Strip is not a war in the traditional sense of the word, but rather aggression by an army armed with the most powerful types of weapons against 2.3-2.4 million Palestinian civilians. All the people in the Gaza Strip are civilians, even the fighters are civilians, even the Palestinian resistance is civilians who are resisting the occupation army.”
