Abbas’ advisor denies Israel’s right to exist: “We have been under occupation for 100 years,” but “we remain”
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "We don't have sufficient military power to deal with the Israeli occupation force. We do not have weapons, missiles, tanks, and planes. We and our people have been under this occupation for 100 years. We, our fathers, and our grandfathers were born in this land and have put down roots here, and we remain here."
