Lapid and Scholz Criticize Palestinian President Abu Mazen For Accusing Israel of Committing "50 Holocausts" In Berlin

This is how the Palestinian leader answered in Germany the question about the Palestinian attack against Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. The president of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), Abu Mazen, has exhausted much of the credit he still had among Israelis after he accused Israel of committing "50 holocausts" in Berlin on Tuesday during the press conference before a surprised Olaf Scholz, who hours later, strongly condemned his words. Criticism and widespread discomfort in Israel and Germany , to which the United States joined, for what they consider "banalization of the 'Shoah' and false comparison" have forced Abu Mazen to clarify this Wednesday that he has not denied the existence of the Holocaust that defines it as "the most despicable crime in modern history" and has indicated that his intention was to speak of "the massacres of the Israeli forces against the Palestinian people since the Nakba".  "Mahmoud Abb...

Boris Johnson tries to build bridges with the EU in the face of reticence about sending weapons and dialogue with Putin. "The Europe that we knew six weeks ago no longer exists," Boris Johnson certified in the presence of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and in the face of cracks between the allies at the critical moment of the war in Ukraine. "Olaf and I agree that our two countries and all our allies must do more to help Ukraine," said the "premier", who hours before had received Polish President Andrzej Duda in Downing Street. The architect of Brexit has suddenly found himself in the position of building bridges between the members of the EU, with an unusual call for unity in the face of the common enemy: "Putin's invasion has hit the foundations of security on the continent, but his ambition to divide us has blatantly failed.
