Palestinian PM Abbas
Putting it all in perspective.
At the opening of the Gaza-Egypt border, does he thank first the U. S. Secretary of State who forced the Israelis' hand? Does he thank the Israelis for their concessions to the border security? Does he thank the EU for risking their lives agreeing to monitor the border? Does he thank the U. S. Congress and the American people for funding ALL of the border crossing security procedures and for the last ten years dwarfing all other foreign aid to the Palestinians? Does he perhaps first thank the Egyptians for agreeing to work with the distrusted PA?
No, he does none of these things.
Standing at Rafah, Abbas said, "The achievement we're celebrating today belongs first and foremost to the martyrs, wounded, prisoners and all Palestinians who have sacrificed in this struggle."
That's right. He first thanked those who blow themselves up to kill Jews.
