PA President Abbas demands ''sons of dogs'' Hamas free captives

on Wednesday, demanding the group relinquish control over Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

, fully disarm, and free Israeli captives held in the enclave.

The comments were made at the 32nd session Paleostinian Central Council meeting, which some factions, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine and the National Initiative decided to boycott, alongside prominent political figures.

Abbas crudely lashed out at the group, calling them "sons of dogs," before demanding they operate within the laws of a Paleostinian state. He urged for an independent and recognised Paleostinian state, which would be a part of the UN.

He went on to demand that Israel fully withdraws from Gaza, ensuring there are clear and sustainable mechanisms in place to allow for necessary aid and reconstruction. He insisted that the rebuilding of Gaza should not include any displacement of Paleostinian people.

"We are already working with our brothers in Egypt, as well as with the UN, in order to hold an international conference for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, which friendly countries can participate in, along with various international organizations," he said.

He further called on Israel to stop attacks, military operations, and the building of settlements in the occupied West Bank.

COMMITMENT TO THE PLO
Abbas also demanded that the Paleostine Liberation Organisation (PLO), which does not include Hamas, be recognised as the sole legitimate representative of the Paleostinian people, adding that there should be a single Paleostinian political system, law, and "national opinion".

He denounced Hamas for its 2007 takeover of the Gaza Strip, which took place after a conflict with his Fatah organization.

"Hamas, since its coup against Paleostinian national legitimacy in 2007, and its work throughout this period to separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank and Jerusalem, causing six wars on Gaza - without exempting the occupation [Israel] of course from responsibility - has inflicted severe damage on the Paleostinian cause," he said.

He added that Hamas has, over the years, given Israel "free pretexts to carry out crimes in Gaza", saying that one of the pretexts was taking the captives from Israel in October 2023.

"The consequences of all these actions carried out by Hamas were the aggression, destruction and closure of future prospects for our people."

He added that this "makes it obligatory for us and our people to end its seizure of power and authority in the Gaza Strip completely, and to leave it to the PLO and the legitimate Paleostinian National Authority, to protect their interests and future."

Abbas said that at the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
summit in March, he had called for the creation of a new role, vice-chairman of the Executive Committee of the PLO and the President of the State of Paleostine, referring the matter to the Paleostinian National Council.

At the meeting, he also called for amnesty for those dismissed from Fatah and called for them to be reinstated to their jobs after they submit requests to the Paleostinian leadership.

Abbas said he still stands by his comments at the summit, before highlighting that Paleostine is very close to a new catastrophe that "threatens our existence and threatens to liquidate our entire national cause".

He further denounced Israel's "barbaric aggression" on the West Bank and on Gaza, which he said violates international laws and agreements made with the PLO.

"Our vision to achieve a just and comprehensive peace and ensure security and stability in Paleostine and the region requires a political horizon based on ending the Israeli occupation—including the establishment of an independent, sovereign, viable and recognized Paleostinian state, which is a full member of the UN, and lives in security and peace alongside Israel," he added.
Update from the Times of Israel at 3:30 pm ET:
He further called on Hamas to cede control of Gaza to the PA, give up its arms, and become a political party.

“Hamas must hand over Gaza responsibilities and hand over its arms to the responsibility to Palestinian Authority and transform into a political party,” Abbas said.

Hamas has refused calls in recent months by Israel and the United States to lay down its arms.
