Member of Hamas’s political bureau Mousa Abu Marzouk has called for making calculated decisions in the Palestinian arena in view of the deteriorating health condition of Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas.
“In light of Abbas’s health setback calculated initiatives and decisions are needed in order for us not to be surprised by something that complicates the national situation and deepens Fatah’s internal rift and grassroots base which would have an adverse impact on our national cause” Abu Marzouk stated on his Twitter page on Saturday.
The Hamas official also wished Abbas a full and speedy recovery.
President Mahmoud Abbas hospitalized in Ramallah for treatment of a lung infection is stirring up widespread concern over his overall health since it’s the third time in less than one week that the octogenarian has been taken to hospital.
Doctors have not said publicly how long they intend to hold the president at al-Istishari Arab Hospital but concern has grown exponentially as he has suffered several health complications.
