The Palestinian Authority's acknowledgment of a terrorist responsible for multiple attacks highlights the ongoing glorification of violence within its ranks. This reveals deep-seated issues in the PA's approach to peace and security.

The main arguments of the article are:

  1. Palestinian Authority (PA) officials are attempting to misrepresent the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack by claiming Israeli hostages are soldiers, not civilians.

  2. Jibril Rajoub, a top Fatah official, asserts that the Israeli captives are soldiers arrested by Palestinian fighters, despite evidence that many are civilians.

  3. Mahmoud Al-Habbash, an advisor to PA Chairman Abbas, insists that all individuals in Gaza, including Hamas fighters, are civilians, denying the presence of terrorist infrastructure.

  4. The PA is accused of whitewashing Hamas' actions and demonizing Israel.
