Abbas flatly condemned Tel Aviv op

Acting PA head, Mahmoud Abbas has condemned an anti-occupation operation in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.

Abbas made the rejection in a statement published on the PA-run WAFA news agency.

“Achieving a just peace and creating a positive atmosphere will contribute to removing the reasons behind tension and violence in the area,” the statement read.

The statement added that achieving a sustainable peace would require everyone to “stop any acts that would increase tension and strain, or that resort to violence.”
