Abbas urges Hamas to release all hostages
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is calling on Hamas to release all remaining Israeli hostages, AFP reports. According to Abbas, this would block Israel's excuses for continuing the war in Gaza.
The relationship between Hamas, which is labeled a terrorist organization, and Abbas' Fattah movement have long been tense, and Abbas has accused Hamas of undermining Palestinian unity.
Hamas, in turn, has criticized Abbas for being too close to Israel.
