Watch: Top Palestinian official on TV claims Sharia law is supreme and there is no need to protect "Western" women's rights or fight against FGM, honor killings, domestic violence, child marriage, etc.
As you can see in the video below he says the Palestinian Constitution is Islam and women's rights are upheld only by the moral standards of Islam.
