At a press conference in Berlin attended by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was asked if the Palestinians planned to apologize for the 1972 terrorist attack in Munich. In response, the politician said that since 1947 Israel had committed "50 massacres, 50 holocausts" in Palestine.

Accused of the extermination of Jews, Germany, which was forced to pay reparations to the relatives of Jewish concentration camp prisoners, was frightened by the words of the Palestinian leader on German soil, who threw a stone into the Israeli garden.

“I am outraged by the statements of the President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas. For us Germans in particular, any relativization of the exclusivity of the Holocaust is unacceptable,” said German Chancellor Scholz.

A spokesman for the German Cabinet denied that Abbas's remarks cast a shadow on relations between Germany and Palestine.
