Hamas rejects Abbas’s remarks on peace with Israel
Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri says his group rejects Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s statement to US President Donald Trump.
“No one has authorized Mahmoud Abbas to represent Palestinian people and no one is obligated to any position he’s issued,” Zuhri posts on Twitter.
“We reject Abbas’s statement that all final status issues are solvable, because national rights belong to all Palestinians and no one person can relinquish them,” he adds.
