PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “There is no bigger liar than the US administration, no bigger liar than [the US] exists.The American administration is inventing lies against us, as it has done through all the last decades… We are an unarmed people. We are a people that has been living under occupation for more than 70 years…. We are just trying to protect our existence. What threats are they talking about? If there is a threat to peace and security, it is the occupation (i.e., Israel) itself. Israel itself is the threat, and the US with all its racist policies, double standards, and aid to Israel is the true threat. We are a people that is seeking peace,… We do not constitute a threat to anyone.”
