Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas spoke at the Arab League summit in Bahrain.
He referred briefly to October 7, and blamed Hamas for doing Israel's bidding with its attack.
Abbas stated,
Sisters and brothers....Before last October 7, the occupation government was working to consolidate the separation of the Gaza Strip from the West Bank and Jerusalem, in order to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and to weaken the National Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Hamas's position of rejecting ending the division and returning to the umbrella of Palestinian legitimacy came to serve this Israeli plan.The military operation carried out by Hamas with a unilateral decision on that day provided Israel with more pretexts and justifications to attack the Gaza Strip, killing, destroying and displacing it.
Yes, according to Abbas, the division between Hamas and Fatah is Israel's fault. They'd be so unified if it wasn't for Jewish schemes to divide them.
This comes straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion: "We must create ferments, discords and hostility. [This way] we keep in check all countries, for they well know that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. "
And then, according to this speech before the Arab world, Israel was just itching to destroy Gaza and was quite satisfied that Hamas slaughtered so many Jews so it had an excuse to go in.
Hamas condemned Abbas' statements accusing the group of helping Israeli objectives.
These kinds of conspiracy theories have replaced truth in much of the Arab (and wider) world. In another news story this week, a Palestinian political analyst said that Jews visited the Temple Mount on Yom Haatzmaut specifically to provoke people in Gaza.
