German Chancellor Olaf Scholz again harshly criticized the words of Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who compared Israel’s actions against Palestinians to the Holocaust. “I feel the deepest indignation at the outrageous statements of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. It is for us Germans that any relativization of the Holocaust is unbearable and unacceptable. I condemn any attempt to deny the crimes of the Holocaust,” Scholz wrote on his microblog. on Twitter on Wednesday, August 17th.

The day before, Abbas, during a joint press conference with Scholz in Berlin, accused Israel of a repeated Holocaust against the Palestinians. “Israel has committed 50 massacres in 50 Palestinian settlements from 1947 to today – 50 massacres, 50 holocausts,” the Palestinian leader said.

Scholz’s review

Before that, one of the journalists asked Abbas if he would like to apologize on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the bloody attack by Palestinian terrorists on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics, but Abbas did not react to that.

Scholz at a news conference did not comment on Abbas’ words about the Holocaust, for which he was heavily criticized by the opposition. Only at night did the chancellor say in an interview with the Bild newspaper: “It is for us Germans that any relativization of the Holocaust is unbearable and unacceptable.”
