The purported “State of Palestine” has an elaborate set of awards and honors that it gives to people it wants to impress. Here is a subset of these awards:
These awards are given out liberally to any head of state that Mahmoud Abbas happens to meet.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, received the “Legion of Merit of Jerusalem” from Abbas in October 2008.
In 2010, Abbas awarded the Order of the Star of Palestine to the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
In 2017, Abbas awarded Bahraini Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa the “Grand Collar of the Order of the State of Palestine“.
Will Abbas now withdraw these honors because these countries “stabbed Palestine in the back”?
It seems like Abbas has no choice in the matter, if he wants to be consistent in his position that those countries are to be treated like pariahs.
