Abbas’ advisor: Iran can’t really hurt Israel, should join battle for Palestine, not for own interests
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "Every party that is subjected to aggression by Israel has a right to respond to this aggression. Therefore, Iran has the right to respond to Israel if it was subjected to aggression in any manner. However, unfortunately this response does not reach a level that could threaten Israel and does not cause damage that would perhaps prevent Israel from continuing its aggression. I want to be clear: We want everyone to join the battle to defend Palestine and the Palestinian people, but for the sake of Palestine, and not for using the Palestinian cause to achieve what they want and their [own] interests."
