Trump’s Mideast envoy slams Abbas’s Fatah for ‘vile’ glorification of terrorists

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East peace process, Jason Greenblatt, slams the ruling Palestinian faction in the West Bank, Fatah, over its support for two terrorists who killed Israeli civilians.

In a tweet, Greenblatt shares a statement from Fatah — which is headed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas — in which Ashraf Na’alowa and Salih Barghouti are hailed as “heroes.” Greenblatt brands the statement “disgraceful, vile and contemptible.”

Na’alowa killed two Israeli coworkers at the Barkan Industrial Park in October. Barghouti committed last week’s shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Ofra in which a pregnant woman — along with six others — was seriously injured and her baby later died. Both were killed last week in shootouts with IDF forces attempting to arrest them.
