Report: Abbas accuses Israel of using wild boars against Palestinians

[King_David]

SSeveral Palestinian media outlets on Saturday quoted Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as accusing Israel of using “wild pigs” against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Abbas’s allegation was made during a speech he delivered at a pro-Palestinian conference in Ramallah on Friday night.

The charge was omitted from reports published by official PA media.

This was not the first time the PA accused Israel of releasing pigs to destroy agricultural fields in the West Bank.

In the past, the PA has claimed the IDF and settlers released wild pigs in Palestinian- owned lands to damage crops and intimidate farmers.

“Every night, they [Israelis] release wild pigs against us,” Abbas was quoted as saying in his speech. “Why are they doing this to us?” He also accused Israel of using false pretexts to prevent Palestinians from entering their lands in the West Bank.

1. Israeli government official:

An Israeli government official responded to Abbas’s charge about the wild boars, saying it would “be laughable, if it wasn’t so dangerous.”

The official said this allegation was similar to one made in 2010 by the Egyptian governor of the south Sinai claiming a shark attack near Sharm e-Sheikh may have been triggered by the Mossad to harm Egyptian tourism.

“It’s a pity the Palestinian Authority president choses to propagate such rubbish, and it raises questions about his real position on Israel,” the official said, adding that the remarks were dangerous because “they fit into a consistent and ongoing pattern of incitement.”
