Today, Friday, German police launched a preliminary investigation into Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas amid his recent statements comparing Israel's actions to the Holocaust. Al Jazeera reports.

On Friday, the Berlin police confirmed that they had launched an investigation into the possibility of Abbas's hate speech following an official statement to open a criminal case.

The Directorate of the Judicial Police said it would inform the prosecutor's office of the results of the investigation "in the near future". This was reported by the press secretary of the police.

Recall that the Palestinian politician said during a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Schultz on Tuesday that "since 1947, Israel has committed 50 massacres ... 50 massacres ... 50 holocausts."
