Abbas’ advisor: Israel “waited” for terror attacks “to unleash hatred”
Habbash turns a terror attack into an indictment of Israel.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "Perhaps these events (i.e., terror attack, 2 murdered) played into the hands of the extremists in Israel, and particularly Israeli Prime Minister [Netanyahu], who waited for such an event to unleash his hatred, illusions, and aggressive plans against the Palestinian people and to free himself from any international or legal obligation whatsoever towards the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people."
