Palestinian President Reiterates Intention To Wage International Diplomatic Campaign Against Israel

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has reiterated the Palestinian Authority’s intention to wage an international diplomatic campaign against Israel, which would leverage the Palestinians’ upgraded status at the United Nations to sue Israel in the International Criminal Court. The statements come as Abbas’s Fatah faction, which controls the West Bank, has unveiled a new logo implying the elimination of Israel. The commitment to waging so-called ‘lawfare’ and the new logo are in tension with recent statements made by Abbas to a Turkish media outlet indicating that Fatah does in fact recognize Israel’s legitimacy.
