Palestinian Prime Minister explains to CNN why he will not condemn Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel

The Prime Minister of Palestine Mohammad Shtayyeh, told CNN which will not condemn the terrorist attacks of Hamas who killed more than a thousand people on October 7, saying: “blind support for Israel is a license to kill.”

“Hope [os] United States does not go in this direction”, he added.

In an interview in Ramallah, West Bank Shytayyeh told Becky Anderson of CNN why he was unwilling to condemn the attacks:

“Palestinian history does not begin on October 7,” said Shtayyeh. “The Palestinian catastrophe has existed for 75 years, and we have cried loudly, and we have shouted loud and clear [que] we need a solution.”

He continued and said that “the conviction should be [pelo] murder of every civilian, every human being who does not deserve to die. We should condemn this.”
Shtayyeh stated that the feeling of the Israeli people is one of revenge.

Israel is not under existential threat and I think the White House, [que o presidente Joe Biden] should call on the parties to sit down and work together [por] a peaceful solution,” he said.

Visits by world leaders to Tel Aviv in support of Israel – a reference in part to Biden’s visit on Thursday and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visits last week, among others – “have shed the greatest light green for Israel to continue its attack on Gaza,” Shtayyeh said.

International support should be for peace and not aggression, he said.
