[PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas:] “If there's incitement on my part, where is it?”

[Israeli TV host:] “On TV.”

[Abbas:] “No. I say, in Israel there's also incitement.”

[Host:] “I'll give you another example. When the Israeli public sees the PA glorifies terrorists, calling a square for [terrorist] Dalal Mughrabi, a street for [terrorist] Ayyash.”

[Abbas:] “These [namings] are not by the PA but by the municipalities. The municipalities have a degree of independence.”

[Host:] “Are you personally against those commemorations?”

[Abbas:] “There's no doubt, I'm against it. ...Whatever we must do, you must do as well, but I condemn this action [naming square for Mughrabi].”



Documentation from PMW archives: PA Chairman Abbas did support the honoring of terrorist Dalal Mughrabi

Abbas: “Of course we want to name a square after her (i.e., terrorist Dalal Mughrabi)... We carried out a military action; can I then later renounce all that we have done? No, I don't renounce it.”
[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Jan. 17, 2010]

[PA TV newsreader:] “Under the auspices of President Mahmoud Abbas, the Political and National Education Authority today held a ceremony marking the 50th birthday of the Shahida (Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi.”
[PA TV (Fatah), Dec. 29, 2009]

“Yesterday the Hebron Building Committee inaugurated a computer center named after the Martyr Dalal Mughrabi. At the event was President Mahmoud Abbas's advisor... The center was funded by a contribution from President [Abbas's] office.”
