Abbas blames Hamas for attempt on PA premier’s life
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas accuses the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers of trying to assassinate his prime minister, Rami Hamdallah, last week.
Hamdallah was targeted in a roadside bombing after entering the coastal territory in a convoy that also included the PA intelligence chief, Majid Faraj.
Speaking at the opening of a Palestinian leadership meeting, Abbas condemns the “despicable” attack and says Hamas will be held to account.
He also says he will not be accepting information from Hamas regarding its investigation of the incident.
Hamas, which has long been at odds with the PA, has denied involvement.
