Mahmoud Abbas insults Hamas leaders

Mahmoud Abbas directly addressed and insulted Hamas leaders . He addressed the Palestine Liberation Organization's Central Council meeting, saying, "You sons of dogs, release the prisoners, save our people, and do not give Israel any excuses."

According to Eurasia Today's official Facebook page, this statement openly exposed Abbas's sharp contradictions with the Hamas movement.

During his address, he said: "Stopping the ongoing massacre in the Gaza Strip is our main task. Hundreds of innocent people are being killed every day. Why aren't you releasing the American hostages?"

It is not yet clear whether Abbas was referring to all 59 hostages or just the US citizens. According to reports, Edan Alexander, a US and Israeli citizen , is the only American still being held alive by Hamas.

According to Cursorinfo, Hamas representatives were quick to respond to these statements. One of the movement's leaders, Bassem Na'im, criticized Abbas's words, calling his speech an act that "questions the legitimate leadership of the Palestinian people. "

"In his speech, Mahmoud Abbas insulted the honorable defenders of Gaza. He has consistently accused the Palestinian people of crimes of occupation," said a spokesman for the movement.
