Abbas’ advisor: PA against American “aggression” in Iran, Iran targeting Israel is legitimate
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “We in no way support any American or Israeli aggression against Iran. However... we must differentiate between targeting Israeli targets and targeting Arab targets. There is absolutely no justification and there can be no acceptable justification for targeting any Arab site, we have clearly declared our condemnation of this.”

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.
The war followed several months of anti-regime protests within Iran starting in late December 2025, in which the Iranian regime reportedly murdered over 30,000 of its own civilians. It also followed the American-Israeli war against Iran (Israel’s Operation Rising Lion) in June 2025, in which Israel and the US took out senior Iranian leaders and nuclear facilities, in response to two direct Iranian attacks on Israel, and Iranian proxy attacks on Israel by Hamas and Hezbollah during Hamas' Oct. 7 war on Israel.
