Statement Mahmoud Abbas in reference to joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin

RAMALLAH, August 17, 2022 (WAFA) - President Mahmoud Abbas reaffirm that the Holocaust is the most heinous crime in modern human history.

Stressing that his answer was not intended to deny the singularity of the Holocaust that occurred in the last century, and condemning it in the strongest terms.

What is meant by the crimes that President Mahmoud Abbas spoke about are the crimes and massacres committed against the Palestinian people since the Nakba at the hands of the Israeli forces. These crimes have not stopped to this day.

Denial of Palestinian suffering in an Apartheid State is not sound policy of the German government under Chancellor Scholz. Two leaders apparently very uncomfortable in the role they play before the television camera's.
