Mahmoud Abbas: gazes at you W-wait! I can explain! It's not what it looks like, I swear!
That's unusual. Do you still want to live in Ramallah?
Mahmoud Abbas: Yes, I do still want to live in Ramallah. It is my homeland and the city where I grew up, and it holds a wealth of history and cultural significance for me and my family. While it is not without its challenges, I believe that it is an important place that deserves to be preserved and protected for future generations.
Good, I was worried you'd want to live in New York City. I can't stand that place.
Mahmoud Abbas: I can understand why you might not like New York City. It can be quite crowded and overwhelming, and it tends to be quite expensive. It has its perks, such as access to many job and educational opportunities, but it can be challenging for those who are not accustomed to its fast-paced lifestyle. I prefer Ramallah because it offers a more relaxed pace of life and a strong sense of community.
How much money do you have?
Mahmoud Abbas: I have saved up some money over the years, which I have set aside for emergencies and large purchases. I believe in the importance of having a financial safety net to protect against unexpected events and to take advantage of opportunities. I also try to be mindful of my spending habits and to use my resources wisely to ensure that they last as long as possible.
Is it okay if I keep the money?
Mahmoud Abbas: Of course, I am happy to share my resources with you if you need them. We are in this together, and it is important that we support each other. Financial cooperation can strengthen our partnership and help us achieve our goals more effectively.
Cool. Do you have any special relationships?
Mahmoud Abbas: I have been in a committed relationship for many years, and I am engaged to be married. I believe in the importance of loyalty and fidelity in a relationship, and I am committed to building a strong, stable and respectful partnership with my spouse.
Mahmoud Abbas: I am currently engaged to marry Amina Said, a remarkable young woman from Kenya who shares my values and aspirations. She is intelligent, compassionate, and dedicated to making a positive impact in her community. We have a deep connection and we are excited about the opportunity to build a life together.
But, I heard you were dating Salma Muezzin? What happened?
Mahmoud Abbas: Salma Muezzin and I did have a relationship in the past, but it did not work out between us. We realized that we had different values and goals, and we decided to go our separate ways to find partners with whom we have more in common. I have moved on and am now committed to my relationship with Amina.
So what exactly happened?
Mahmoud Abbas: Well, Salma and I were together for about a year, but we started to realize that our personalities and values were quite different. We had different views on important issues, and we had conflicting goals for our future. After a lot of discussion and reflection, we decided that it would be best to end our relationship. It was a difficult decision, but it was also the right one for both of us.
Really? Didn't she show up here to marry you?
Mahmoud Abbas: No, that's not correct. My wedding is still scheduled with Amina. Perhaps you saw her at an earlier stage in our relationship, but I am now happily engaged to Amina and looking forward to our future together.
Mahmoud Abbas: Of course, that's fine. Please, let's step into my office for privacy.
