Abbasshole congratulates Hamasshole who killed Jews, including 9-month old

Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas, a Holocaust denier and avowed anti-Semite, made a congratulatory phone call Saturday to one of the terrorist scumbags freed by Israel as part of the garbage ceasefire deal with Hamas.

According to Israel's Kan News, which showed footage of the call, Abbas congratulated Yasser Abu Bakr after his release from prison. Abu Bakr was sentenced to 115 years in 2004 for his part in attacks that killed Israeli civilians, including a baby, and injured many others.

In the recording, Abbas can be heard saying, "Your imprisonment was for the sake of the Palestinian nation," indicating he thought the sentence was too harsh, according to a translation by Israel's Walla news site.

Abbas's comments led to criticism from Israeli officials, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who said, "His phone call tonight to a murderer of Jews is a wake-up call to those who still delude themselves about the P.A. being an alternative to Hamas in Gaza after the war. It won’t happen. Not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria. Mahmoud Abbas was and remains an enemy, a terror supporter, a promoter of terror, and the authority he heads was and remains a terrorist organization, and is not a 'partner.'"

On Saturday, Israel released 200 Palestinian prisoners as part of the second wave of a ceasefire deal. In return, four female Israeli soldiers, who were kidnapped during Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, were freed.

Many of these released prisoners had been convicted of murder or attempted murder, with some serving life sentences. Of those released, 109 went back to Judea and Samaria, 21 to Gaza, and about 70 were sent to Egypt. These prisoners in Egypt are expected to move to other countries as per the agreement that started on January 19.

In Cairo, the freed prisoners were met by representatives from Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, backed by Iran. Some of them then traveled to Qatar, according to Sunday's reports.

On Sunday afternoon, the IDF reported an air strike in the Balata area of Nablus aimed at "dispersing a gathering of armed men." Kan News reported that the Israeli Air Force used an Elbit Hermes 450 drone to fire a warning shot at a terrorist parade during a funeral, choosing not to attack directly because of the presence of women and children.
