Abbas’ advisor: US controls Israel, could stop the war if it wanted
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "The US is not just a mediator of Israel, the US is the one responsible for Israel. It is the one responsible for Israeli policy, and it bears responsibility for the entire scope of this aggression (i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7 war on Israel). It could tell Israel ‘enough,' and the war would stop. However, unfortunately the US is acting complacently and not exerting any pressures on [Israel]."
