PA Chairman on Israel’s response to Hamas’ war: More than a catastrophe
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas speaks about Nakba Day. Pinned to the lapel of his jacket is a key symbolizing the Palestinian refugees' "right of return."
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: "What is happening today (i.e., Israel's response to Hamas' Oct. 7 war) has not happened anywhere in the world. It is more than a catastrophe, and more than a war of annihilation. Our people has not seen such a war, not even in the 1948 Nakba (i.e., "the catastrophe," the establishment of Israel)."
