Abbas calls outpost law an ‘attack’ on Palestinians
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls the new Israeli law legalizing dozens of Jewish outposts built on private Palestinian land an “attack against our people” and promises to fight it in “international courts.”
“This legislation in contrary to international law. We will continue our work with the international courts to protect our existence and our survival on Palestinian land,” Abbas says during a press conference in Paris, following a meeting with French President Francois Hollande.
