Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, has called for Hamas to “hand over its weapons,” immediately free all hostages and cease ruling Gaza, the French presidency said on Tuesday after receiving a letter from him.
The letter was addressed to President Emmanuel Macron of France and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who will jointly chair a U.N. conference in New York next week to explore the creation of a Palestinian state. Mr. Macron has set a number of conditions for the possible French recognition of such a state at that meeting, including the disarmament of Hamas.
“Hamas will no longer rule Gaza and must hand over its weapons and military capabilities to the Palestinian security forces,” Mr. Abbas said in the letter, according to a statement from the Élysée Palace. He added that the Palestinian forces would oversee the removal of Hamas with Arab and international support, an undertaking that is certain to provoke skepticism in Israel, and probably also in Washington.
“Hamas must immediately release all hostages and captives,” the letter said, reiterating a demand that Mr. Abbas has made before.
...Mr. Abbas condemned the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that killed about 1,200 people in some of the strongest terms that he has used, calling it “unacceptable and reprehensible.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
“FROM THE RIVER TO THE MED ALL HAM-ASS SHOULD BE DEAD!”
That should put his future into the category of suicide bomb victim, or car bomb recipient.
The UN, France, UK, and Germany immediately condemned the Palestinian Authority president as a “Zionist pig.” /s
IDF must have killed 75% of Hamas because PA wouldn’t have the balls to make this statement unless they KNOW they can take over.
No sane person gives a hoot what this old mass- murdering Fakestinian Arab has to say. And he’s just jealous because the Hamas fakestinians have slaughtered more innocent people and are capturing more media attention and free handouts from the West —
but both evil gangs will soon be with their master Satan in jahannam (Moslem Hell) with their supporters and enablers.
A brief reminder that Hamas/Israel is not so simple and black-and-white as filtered by American MSM. There are many Palestinians who oppose Hamas

So, his public tune has changed. Thanks Cronos.
One terrorist organization slamming another terrorist organization.
“No sane person gives a hoot what this old mass- murdering Fakestinian Arab has to say.”
Hopefully, large-scale conflict in Gaza can come to an end.
It would be progress.
Perhaps the inevitable EU aid money should come with financial transparency so PA bigwig thievery doesn’t take most of it. Be aware the Japanese rebuilt their country after WW2 by themselves.
I’m opposed to US aid money being supplied to hate-filled people who really don’t want peace.
agreed except that they need to be moved far away from civilized societies. President Trump’s proposal of an Indonesian island (Indonesia has thousands and thousands of under or un-utilized islands). Guard it and. then.. they can do as they wish without access for attacking civilized peaceful people anywhere on earth.
Two peas from the same pod.
The only way that Hamas gets out of Gaza is to empty Gaza; they have spent three generations brainwashing everyone into accepting terrorism as their life goals.
If all Mlims were dropped off on a lush, habitable planet with wonderful agriculture, sunny skies, beautiful weather, and abundant resources, if you checked back in a hundred years it would be a decimated hovel with two of them left alive, both arguing about what Allah commands.
Clear out all the Gaza residents. Gaza belongs to Israel. The residents there are originally from southern Saudi Arabia, DNA matching proves it. "Palestinian" originally referred to Jewish residents there. "Palestine" is a corruption of "Philistine" from over 2 millennia ago, all the Philistines were vanquished and disappeared back then, even so the Philistines were from ancient Crete, not native to the land. Return Gaza to Israeli control!
Not enough to make a difference else they would be hone
,,, should have switched to bourbon years ago.
