The official spokesman for the Palestinian Presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said that what was published by President Mahmoud Abbas on a television program on the Jewish issue was a quotation from the writings of Jewish and American historians and writers and others, and is not considered a denial in any way of the Nazi Holocaust.

Abu Rudeineh emphasized that President Mahmoud Abbas' position on this issue is clear and documented, which is the complete condemnation of the Nazi Holocaust and the rejection of anti-Semitism.

He said, "We express our strong disapproval and condemnation of this frenzied campaign merely for quoting academic and historical writings."
