Dermer says Abbas ’embraces’ terrorists
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer says that PA President Mahmoud Abbas has embraced terrorists.
“You have to fight terror. You can’t embrace terrorists. That’s unfortunately what President Abbas has done,” Dermer tells David Gregory on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Abbas’s unity government with Hamas was “a terrible thing for peace. The road to peace goes over Hamas; it doesn’t include Hamas,” Dermer continues.
PA officials “now unfortunately are in alliance with this terrorist organization, and it’s a genocidal terror organization. Hamas’s charter calls for the murder of Jews worldwide. I hope that after this round of fighting is over, that President Abbas will abandon the pact that he has made with Hamas, and that he’ll go back to peace negotiations” with Israel.
