Rabbis who hate Israel are welcome to visit the Palestinian Authority

Who says the Palestinian Authority is antisemitic? They love Jews who hate Israel!

The PA's official news agency Wafa reports on a meeting between Abbas' office and a group which may be "Rabbis for Human Rights" but is translated from Arabic as being "Rabbis for Peace," which I have not heard of. I didn't find mention of the visit on the Rabbis for Human Rights social media. Perhaps there is another obscure "peace" group.

The Secretary General of the Presidency, Tayeb Abdul Rahim, received a delegation from the "Rabbis for Peace" movement at the presidential headquarters, in cooperation with the Coordination Committee of the Israeli Community.

Yes, the PA has a committee with that name - specifically to  help anti-Israel Israelis. Maintaining such contacts is enshrined in the Fatah platform.

The delegation presented a petition signed by 50 rabbis demanding the end of the occupation and independence for the Palestinian people, and the provision of conditions for a return to negotiations.

The meeting was attended by a group of legal judges and representatives of the Office of the Chief Justice and Endowments.

Abdel Rahim spoke of the need to end the occupation and establish a Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, with Jerusalem as its capital. He praised the activity of the group of rabbis in order to achieve peace, which is in Israel's interest as it is in the Palestinian interest.
I don't know what the proper transliteration fo this "rabbi"'s name is. Lipschutz?

Rabbi Levitsch said that he is ashamed of the Israeli society, which tends to extremism and called for the need to cooperate with the Palestinian leadership, headed by President Mahmoud Abbas, who believes in a true and just peace for his people..

One of the members of the delegation presented a plaque with some verse in Hebrew and Arabic.

 These are the Israelis that Abbas and his team are happy to meet.
