In a shameless move that has outraged Palestinians worldwide, Mahmoud Abbas, the widely discredited head of the Palestinian Authority, launched a vulgar tirade against Hamas, calling its leaders “sons of bitches” during a live press conference. The incident has peeled back whatever mask of neutrality Abbas had left, exposing him once again as nothing more than Israel’s puppet—willing to slander fellow Palestinians to curry favor with the occupier.
This wasn’t a mere slip of the tongue. It was a calculated attack designed to deepen the divide between Palestinian factions, playing right into the hands of the Israeli regime. Rather than defending his people or confronting the brutal reality of occupation, Abbas chose to vilify those who resist. His words echo not from Ramallah, but from Tel Aviv.
Abbas’s long-standing collaboration with Israel is no secret. From security coordination with the IDF to his refusal to hold democratic elections for over a decade, he has consistently prioritized Israeli interests over Palestinian unity. His latest outburst only confirms what many have long believed: Mahmoud Abbas is no leader of the people—he is an enforcer for the occupation masquerading as a president.
Abbas has built his entire presidency on appeasing the occupier. While Gaza bleeds and the West Bank suffers under apartheid, Abbas coordinates with Israeli intelligence, arrests resistance fighters, and cracks down on dissent in the name of “stability.” Stability for who? Certainly not for the Palestinian people. For Israel, yes. For his foreign donors, yes. But for Palestinians living under the boot of occupation? Absolutely not.
This is the same Mahmoud Abbas who has refused to hold democratic elections for over 15 years, knowing full well he would be voted out in a heartbeat. His “authority” is not granted by the people but maintained through foreign aid and Israeli military support. Without that lifeline, Abbas’s regime would collapse overnight—and he knows it. That’s why he stays in line, says what Israel wants him to say, and attacks whoever stands in defiance of the occupation.
Let’s not pretend this is new behavior either. Abbas has a long, shameful history of backstabbing his own people. From condemning resistance operations to defending normalization with Israel, he has made a career out of submission. He is not a leader—he’s an obstacle to liberation.
The Fatah-Hamas rift has always been a thorn in the side of Palestinian progress, but Abbas seems committed to making it worse. His leadership has been marked by authoritarianism, corruption, and betrayal.
His administration, propped up by foreign powers and Israeli approval, has failed to deliver anything but division and despair.
As the world watches the Palestinian struggle intensify, one thing is crystal clear— Mahmoud Abbas no longer represents the Palestinian cause. He represents a dying regime clinging to power through Israeli support, while real resistance continues without him.
