He said modern Israelis are not descendants of Jacob, but are "Khazar Jews" who converted to Judaism in the sixth century CE.
He made these remarks in a public address that was aired on Palestine TV on June 29, 2021. Shtayyeh continued to say that Israel "constitutes a function rather than a state."
He went on to claim that Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, the American consul in Jerusalem, and Balfour all said they wanted a 'function state' in the region that serve their interests.
