Hanni al-Hassan, a central committee member of the PLO-Fatah terror organization - which has been responsible for the murder of hundreds of Israelis over the course of the Oslo process - dispatched holiday greetings to his friends in the Israeli left-wing Meretz Party youth organization. “With the Passover holiday approaching," Al-Hassan wrote, "I would like to wish you a happy and kosher [!?! -ed. note] holiday, and may the Lord bless us all with peace.”
Ofer Gutman, chairman of the Meretz Youth Wing, said it was “surprising and touching” to receive Pesach greetings from “the Palestinian side.” Al-Hassan is one of the many candidates for Abu Mazen's new, long-in-formation, PLO cabinet.
Yet another Israeli office received a surprise message this week from unexpected quarters. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was happy to receive a personal message from Afghani Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, addressed to his Israeli counterpart Silvan Shalom, expressing hope for normalization and cooperation between the two countries. It is assumed that Afghanistan wants Israel’s vote in the upcoming elections for the UNESCO governing body.
