Barely 72 hours before this week’s widely-reported “peace meeting” between Mahmoud Abbas and two Israeli ministers, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh hinted at destroying Israel.
An Arabic-language outlet reported that Shtayyeh said that “there is no solution to the Palestinian issue on the horizon,” and that this would entail the replacement of Israel with a Palestinian state extending “from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.”
The comments came shortly before ministers from Israel’s left-wing Meretz political party met with PA President Abbas in Ramallah, ostensibly to “keep the two-state solution alive.” For his part, Abbas ahead of the gathering spoke with the families of two Palestinian terrorists recently killed while attempting attacks on Israelis.
Meanwhile, in the Gaza Strip, leaders of the US-designated Hamas terror group attended a conference geared towards the “liberation of Palestine” — a euphemism for the eradication of Israel. Participants reaffirmed their commitment to not relinquish “a single inch” of territory and called for the ethnic cleansing of all Jews except for the “educated” and “experts” who would “not be allowed to leave.”
Notably, Abbas previously said that there are no ideological disagreements between his ruling Fatah faction and Hamas.
