Abbas’ advisor: US will give Israel “green light to annex West Bank,” Palestinians will “resist until occupation ends and leaves our lands”
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "We do not trust the occupation (i.e., Israel) and know the nature of the relationship between the occupation and the various American administrations and the US. We indeed fear that the current situation, after what happened in the Gaza Strip (i.e., the 2023 Gaza war) and what is happening now in the West Bank, will lead to a green light to [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu to annex parts of the West Bank or perhaps annex the entire West Bank to Israel… The world needs to understand that we as Palestinians will not accept submission, a policy of imposing facts on the ground… and we have been resisting the occupation for over 100 years and will continue to resist this occupation until it ends and completely leaves our lands."
