Abbas Threatens US with Terror in UN Address; Says Terrorism to Expand If Funds not Renewed

As a result of President Trump's decision to withhold tens of millions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funding from the Palestinian Authority (PA) because of its refusal to consider compromises to achieve Middle East peace, PA President Mahmoud Abbas told the United Nations this week that terrorist activities will increase unless the U.S. restores the money, the WND (World Net Daily) website reports today (February 22, 2018).


"If you end your assistance they become terrorists or refugees in Europe," an ungrateful, entitled-feeling,  and arrogant Abbas said. "It's either that or you continue to support UNRWA until the crisis ends..."


A White House spokesman dismissed Abbas' rhetoric as "old talking points."


Mat Staver, who heads Christians in Defense of Israel as well as Covenant Journey, condemned the threats. "Threats of violence by Mahmoud Abbas are a reflection of his radical ideology and support for terrorism," said Staver. "He has no desire for peace. His only desire is to wipe out Jews and rename Israel to Palestine..."
