Abbas says Hamas responsible for Hamdallah bombing, which ‘serves Israel’
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s office says it holds Hamas responsible for “the premeditated aggression against the convoy of the [PA] prime minister [Rami Hamdallah] and the head of intelligence [Majed Faraj],” the official PA outlet Wafa reports.
The report quotes the PA president’s office charging that “this attack against the convoy of the prime minister [is] aimed at efforts and steps by President Mahmoud Abbas to end division and achieve reconciliation.”
And it accuses: “Whoever carried out this act directly serves the interest of the Israeli occupation, the main beneficiary from the division.”
