Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas today called on Hamas to “quickly conclude” a deal to protect the Palestinian people from “the impact of a new disaster” after four months of war between Israel and the Islamist movement in the Gaza Strip.
“We call the movement Hamas to quickly conclude the prisoner deal to save our Palestinian people from another catastrophe, no less dangerous than the Nakba of 1948,” he said, according to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, referring to the “catastrophe” (“nakba” in Arabic) which was for the Palestinians the creation of the state of Israel, after which 760,000 Palestinians had been forced to flee their homes during the first Israeli-Arab war.
Abbas also called on “the American government and the Arab brothers to work seriously on concluding the agreement (…) to save the Palestinian people from the horrors of this devastating war,” according to Wafa.
The president of the Palestinian Authority, whose headquarters are in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, added that he “holds everyone responsible for any obstacle that will be created by any side to disrupt the agreement.”
“The situation is no longer tolerable and it is time for everyone to take responsibility,” he said.
According to the protothema, the Palestinian Authority was expelled in 2007 from Gaza Strip by the Islamist movement Hamas, which had won elections there a year earlier. It is not participating in ongoing talks for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, which would include the release of hostages held in that Palestinian territory in exchange for the release of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel.
Since yesterday, Tuesday, Egypt welcomes representatives of USAwhich is Israel’s main backer, and Qatar, where the Hamas leader is based, to discuss a new truce after a week-long one in late November that allowed the release of about 100 hostages .
