Abbas’ advisor reacts to death of Hamas leader Sinwar, but doesn’t mention him, says “resistance” will continue
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "The loss of any Palestinian, whether we agreed with him or disagreed with him, is a great loss for the Palestinian people... Everyone is precious in our eyes and are members of the Palestinian people… Assassinating a person or killing a person cannot stop the Palestinian resistance…If Israel is deluding itself that killing some person could bring about the end of the Palestinian people, it is wrong. In the past Israel already assassinated Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125), [former PA President] Martyr Yasser Arafat, Martyr Ahmed Yassin (i.e., Hamas founder), and many leaders, Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa (i.e., secretary-general of PFLP), and other prominent leaders in the Palestinian forces. But this did not stop the efficiency of the Palestinian resistance."
