❗️️️️️️Mansour Abbas exposes Netanyahu’s hypocrisy: Publicly inciting against Palestinian parties while privately seeking their support Israeli opposition politician Mansour Abbas said caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been inciting against Palestinian citizens of Israel and their political representatives despite his close associate reportedly contacting him behind the scenes, as reported by the Times of Israel. Speaking to Israeli broadcaster Kan, Abbas said Netanyahu's confidant Natan Eshel had approached him to gauge his position on legislation barring criminal defendants from serving as prime minister and on joining a coalition to replace Netanyahu. The revelation highlights the apparent contradiction between Netanyahu's public attacks on Palestinian political parties and his reported private outreach to one of their leaders. During a speech to the Knesset on Tuesday, Netanyahu accused Palestinian lawmakers of seeking Israel's destruction and supporting "terrorism." Abbas condemned the remarks as dangerous incitement, warning that Netanyahu's rhetoric was putting his life and his family's safety at risk. Mansour Abbas is perhaps the clearest example of a Palestinian politician willing to make sweeping concessions to accommodate Israeli political demands, with Ra’am rejecting terrorism, supporting Hamas's disarmament, and Abbas reportedly prepared to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. Yet even these concessions have not spared him from Netanyahu's public incitement, exposing a deeper contradiction: that hostility toward Palestinian political representation persists even when its representatives accept Israeli demands. This proves once again that the issue extends far beyond Hamas to Palestinian identity and political existence itself.
