Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said that "there is no connection between Israelis and the Jews," descendants of Jacob, rather they are the "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 continued to claim that this is what was said and desired by Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, the American consul in Jerusalem, and Balfour.

This is what was said and desired by Oliver Cromwell in 1652, by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799, by the American consul in Jerusalem, and by Balfour. What did Herzl write to Balfour? He said: 'Do you want us to be a function state for the protection of Britain's interests in the Middle east and in the Suez Canal? We are prepared to be a function state.'"
