In a surprising message? Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas called on the terrorist organization Hamas to “quickly complete” the prisoner deal, in order to “save the Palestinian people another disaster with consequences no less serious than the Nakba of 1948”, as reported in Arab networks and the Palestinian news agency “Wafa”. He added that the “occupation attacks on the city of Rafah” must be stopped, saying that it will lead to thousands of deaths, great suffering and more displaced persons and evacuees.
Criticism from the government: “There are measures that play into the hands of Hamas”
The reason for supporting Hamas? “The Palestinian Authority turned the Jew into a demonic and abominable creature”
Abu Mazen appealed to the US and Hamas to act to complete the deal for the release of the abductees “as quickly as possible”. According to him, following the fighting in Gaza and the “martyrdom” of hundreds of Palestinians every day – “we must take upon ourselves the responsibility of stopping the war on the Palestinian people”.
It was also reported that he surprised and said: “The time has come for everyone to take responsibility, things are no longer tolerable”, and added: “We consider everyone responsible for putting obstacles in order to disrupt the deal.” He continued: “We want to protect our people from the consequences of a serious disaster, therefore we must make decisions that serve the interests of our people and protect them, so that we can protect our goal and our national interests, by stopping the attacks, recognizing the independent state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital , and the continuation of our political attack.”
He also added according to the reports that his demands are “a comprehensive review of the UN Security Council and other international institutions to achieve full membership in the UN for the state of Palestine.” He concluded his statements: “Once again, we call on everyone, especially the Hamas movement, to quickly complete the deal so that we can protect our people and remove all obstacles.”

In the meantime, we will recall that it was reported on Sunday about a meeting and talks between the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Abu Mazen regarding a new Palestinian government that will be chaired by the head of the Palestinian Investment Fund, Dr. Muhammad Mustafa. This was reported in the Saudi “A-Sharq” newspaper. According to the report, this is the planning of a technocratic government (experts), and not a political government, with a reconstruction authority under international supervision and banking under the office of international accountants. The idea, it is written, will be presented to the terrorist organization Hamas through the Emir of Qatar, at a meeting this coming Monday in Doha , after a team of experts prepared a rehabilitation plan for Gaza at Abu Mazen’s request.
The New York Times reported that Muhammad Dahlan, who was previously considered to be among the senior leaders of the Fatah terrorist organization, said regarding a new government: “Neither Abbas nor Hamas. We must find new people in the Palestinian Authority.” In the background of this, reports are emerging that speak of Hamas joining the PLO.
In addition, political parties in Israel are concerned about the intensive activity of the American administration to promote the idea of ​​establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under a unified government that would be based on what is defined as a “renewed Palestinian Authority”, and say: “The incident is not being handled properly.”
