In a 3,047-word speech in New York City, Abbas referred to the Israeli “occupation” 28 times, criticizing US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman's reference to an alleged occupation. “It is thus very strange to hear some of those who hold the responsibility to end this occupation referring to it as an 'alleged occupation,'” Abbas said.
