Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas eulogizes former US president Jimmy Carter as the first American leader “to recognize the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.”
“He spoke boldly against injustice, including addressing the realities of Israeli apartheid, and championed the cause of peace over violence and war,” adds Abbas in a statement.
“President Carter’s legacy will forever remain in our hearts, serving as a testament to his immeasurable contributions to the cause of justice and peace,” he adds.
