Abbas’ deception at the United Nations is longstanding, telling the international body that the PA recognizes Israel, while his party admits at home it seeks to completely eliminate Israel.
While Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas recently told the UN, “we recognize Israel,” on the same day his deputy told a crowd of Palestinians that all of modern-day Israel is “Palestine.”
This type of double-speak is typical of the Palestinian leadership, telling Western audiences one thing while admitting their true aims in front of home crowds.
If the recent shift in several Gulf states’ posture towards Israel is any indication, the world has gotten wise to the Palestinian Authority’s two-faced diplomacy.
