Bassam Tawil

Bassam Tawil is a Muslim Arab based in the Middle East.

The Biden administration and the international community must understand that the hands of Mahmoud Abbas and his P.A. also drip with the Hamas victims’ blood.
If anyone needs to make concessions for peace it is the P.A., whose leaders continue to spread antisemitism and falsehoods about Israel and Jews, promote and glorify violence—and pay salaries to terrorists and their families to go murder Jews.
The Palestinians never saw the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza as a peace gesture—they saw it as a retreat.
According to some reports, nearly 40,000 Palestinians have left the Gaza Strip since 2018.
By demanding money in return for keeping silent about a Saudi-Israeli deal, the Palestinian leadership is making promises they cannot and will not keep.
Iran and its Palestinian terror proxies are now openly stating that their goal is not only to eliminate Israel, but also to thwart efforts to normalize relations between Israel and Arab countries.
HRW’s reports are no less dangerous than the non-stop incitement to violence by Hamas, PIJ, Qatar and Iran.
How would the newspaper’s readers have reacted had it sent its correspondents to spend time with Al-Qaeda or Islamic State terrorists to hear their pride in having committed atrocities against U.S. citizens?
The rockets being fired from the West Bank should serve as a loud alarm bell to all those who continue to talk about the so-called two-state solution.
The past few days have again shown that the P.A. and Hamas are doing their utmost to silence and intimidate Palestinian journalists.
The voices of those who regularly rush to condemn Israel for seeking to defend itself against Palestinian terrorism go silent when it really comes to protecting Palestinians.
The Biden administration is evidently more concerned about a law passed by a democratic Knesset vote than by P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas’s ongoing efforts to appease Palestinian terrorists
