From Abbas slams Nation State Law, says it will turn Israel into a ‘racist state’
Abbas, addressing the UN, slams the Nation-State Law passed by the Knesset earlier this year, claiming it breaches international law and will eventually bring about a single “racist state, an apartheid state.”
He says it “legalizes discrimination against Arab citizens,” who make up 20 percent of Israel’s population.
“We reject this law and condemn it in the strongest terms and ask the international community to reject it and condemn it and an illegal law,” he says.
