Abbas’ advisor denies Hamas’ terror, presents Gaza war as “Israel attacking an unarmed people”
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "There is no war in the traditional sense in the Gaza Strip, rather there is unilateral aggression (refers to 2023 Gaza war). There is an [Israeli] army armed with the strongest weapons that is attacking an unarmed people."
