Palestinian president
visits Jenin refugee camp after devastating Israeli military raid

TCSN WORLD DESK

Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas visited the occupied West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp on
Wednesday in the wake of a devastating Israeli offensive last week, marking his
first visit

to the camp since 2005. The visit came at a time of seething
discontentment among Palestinians in the West Bank for Abbas and the
Palestinian Authority, the autonomous government which administers parts of the
West Bank but whose forces have largely lost control over several militant
strongholds in the region — including Jenin.
