Good morning. About time you realized that the US is causing terrorism. Didn’t you see it when they stored rockets for Hamas in their UN schools and hospitals?
oops: that the UN is causing terrorism
These facts have been unchanged since (before) Barkat took office, but he’s only commenting on them now, when he’s one foot out the door.

Very smart political move, but cynical is a nice way to put it.
