PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The continuation of the occupation (i.e., Israel) will lead to a response. The Palestinian response is the resistance to this occupation, resolve against it, and using all the legal meansto get rid of it (i.e., also refers to using violence and terror). This is our legal right that is anchored in all the religious and divine laws and in all the international norms and laws. We will continue this struggle until we get rid of the occupation.”
