RAMALLAH, The Speaker of the Palestinian National Council (PNC), the parliament in exile, Rawhi Fattouh, today condemned in a statement the incitement campaign against President Mahmoud Abbas following his statements in the German capital, Berlin.

Fattouh warned that the attack on President Abbas is a direct and open incitement against the Palestinian people and their leadership represented by the President.

“The hateful, black, and inciting approach practiced by Israel, its political leaders, extremists, and its media against President Abbas and the Palestinian leadership is a manifestation of bankruptcy and narrow-mindedness to evade the obligations of peace and to hide their crimes against our Palestinian people,” said Fattouh.

He praised at the same time the positions of the President in support of the just Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people in all international forums, stressing that the Palestinian people, the PNC, and all national actors and forces stand behind the President in supporting his courageous stances.
