Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Wednesday criticized Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas following his speech at the UN Security Council.
In a press release Hamas underlined that the political plan presented by Abbas in his speech does not reflect the national position which calls for an end to the Oslo Accords and which opposes a resumption of negotiations with Israel.
“Abbas’s speech did not rise up to the desired level nor did it reflect the national consensus which wants to terminate the Oslo agreements and rejects negotiations with the occupiers” Hamas said.
Abbas is working to create a new mechanism for the failed peace process despite Israel’s violations and crimes against Palestinian women and children and the dangerous bias of the United States in favor of Israel on Jerusalem and the refugees and the encouragement it gives Israel to commit crimes and liquidate the Palestinian cause the statement reads.
In this context Hamas demanded an end to Abbas’s unilateral decision-making and instead of following the path of a political process to accelerate the unification of the ranks within the Palestinian arena and reach an agreement on a national strategy that focuses on the path of resistance.
