Abbas’ advisor: Oct. 7 was “Israeli plot” to “control” the entire Middle East

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: Some people even speculate that Oct. 7 was an Israeli plot. Some say this, even in the Palestinian street. They say that Israel dragged Hamas and the Palestinian street into this bottomless abyss to later justify everything it is doing as part of its desire to control either Palestine primarily or the Arab region in general, the entire Middle East.”

Mahmoud Al-Habbash also serves as Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice.

American-Israeli war against Iran 2026 (Operation Roaring Lion in Israel, Operation Epic Fury in the US) - a joint American-Israeli military operation against the Iranian regime that was launched on Feb. 28, 2026. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian leaders were killed in the opening strikes of the operation, whose goal was to cripple Iran's military capabilities and topple the regime. Iran responded by launching missiles and drones at Israel and numerous Arab states including Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Iraq, many of which host US military bases or were involved in mediating US-Iranian negotiations. After a few days, Iran's proxy terror organization Hezbollah in Lebanon joined the war, repeatedly attacking Israel with missiles and drones.
