Abbas's Claim on Palestinian Prisoners: Fact or Fiction?

Mahmoud Abbas's recent statement regarding the absence of political prisoners in Palestinian territories has sparked controversy. Following discussions with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Abbas asserted that all those detained are common criminals. This declaration, however, contradicts reports from human rights organizations and Palestinian activists who claim numerous political prisoners remain incarcerated. The video in question amplifies these concerns, though its lack of specific sources limits its reliability as a primary source for a news report. A more thorough investigation is necessary to assess the validity of Abbas's claim and the situation on the ground. Further commentary from human rights groups and official statements will be crucial in clarifying the situation.
