Israel’s ambassador in Berlin Ron Prosor said yesterday that German politicians are furious with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "for exploiting the stage he got.” The ambassador opined that Abbas would no longer be welcomed in Berlin.
At a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin on Aug. 16, Abbas was asked whether he would apologize on behalf of the Palestinian assailants who carried out the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack in which 11 Israelis were killed. Abbas did not reply directly, but rather addressed the Palestinian situation and accused Israel of "50 massacres, 50 Holocausts" against Palestinians since 1947.
