Abbas’ advisor: Israel used October 7 to launch “pre-planned reoccupation of Gaza”
Video title: "Dr. Mahmoud Al-Habbash on Al-Nile TV: Israel used Oct. 7, [2023] as an excuse to reoccupy the Gaza Strip. Our priority is to stop the war of annihilation, thwart the uprooting plan, and strengthen our people's resolve"
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "What happened on Oct. 7 was nothing but an excuse used by the occupation state to carry out a plan that was preplanned and discussed for years: The full reoccupation of the Gaza Strip... The Gaza Strip is an entirely civilian area that lacks the simplest elements of self-defense."
