The Palestinian president has been speaking in increasingly belligerent tones in recent weeks, accusing Israel of committing &#8220;genocide&#8221; in Gaza and calling on Palestinians to defend a contested Jerusalem holy site "by any means." The heightened rhetoric is a departure for the normally staid Abbas - and an apparent sign of desperation as he tries to halt a slide in popularity following this summer&#8217;s war between Israel and the Islamic militant Hamas in Gaza.
