Abbas calls Hamas’ Sons of Dogs and requires hostage release

Mahmoud Abbas called Hamas “sons of dogs” in a fiery speech, in which he asked the group to release the hostages he was still holding, disarmed and betrayed control over Gaza to end the war with Israel.

The Palestinian President said at a meeting of the occupied West coast that Hamas had given Israel “apologies” to continue his attacks on Gaza and told him to “release the hostages and be made with him.”

The remarks were the strongest against the group that the president had gave since the beginning of the war 18 months ago.

An employee of Hamas condemned what he called Abbas’s “shameful language” to “significant proportion … to his own people.”

Last week, the group rejected the proposal for Israeli for a new termination of fire in Gaza, which included a demand for disarming in exchange for a six -week pause in hostilities and the release of 10 of the other hostages 59.

Hamas reiterated that he would hand over all the hostages in exchange for the end of the war and the complete withdrawal of Israel. He also ruled out to give up his weapons.

The BCP, led by Abbas and dominated by his Fatah movement, manages only parts of the west coast since Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, a year after winning legislative elections.

The BCP management regularly insisted that it was ready to take over the run of post -war gas. But she has been criticized by the Palestinians for not talking enough or taking effective action.

Abbas threw himself into Hamas in a fierce speech at a meeting of the Palestinian Central Council in Ramala.

“Hamas apologized to the criminal occupation (Israel) to commit his crimes in the Gaza Strip, the most famous being the holding of hostages,” he said.

“Sons of dogs, just release anyone you hold and end with it. Turn off their apologies and spare us.”

The president also said that Hamas should “convey” responsibility for gas and his BCP weapons and transform himself into a political party.

A member of the Hamas Political Bureau, Basm Naim, criticizes Abbas’s decision to “describe a significant and integral part of his own people using a humiliating language,” according to the AFP News Agency.

“Abbas repeatedly and suspiciously the blame for the crimes of the occupation and his continued aggression against our people,” he added.

Hamas and the BCP have been bitterly divided for decades, with their gap guaranteeing that no single Palestinian guide on both the west coast and gas is unable to appear.

89 -year -old Abbas is regarded as no matter from many Palestinians.

He has remained in power without elections for many years, chairing the BCP, which is regarded by his critics as ineffective in the best case and corrupt in the highest. Hamas essentially accused him of collaboration with Israel.

On a separate development on Wednesday, Hamas’s military wing released a video showing Israeli-Hungarian hostage Omri Miran, at 48, in an underground tunnel.

“On the eve of Holocaust’s Day of Remembrance, when we say” never again “, an Israeli citizen is calling for help from Hamas’s tunnels. This is a moral failure for the State of Israel,” his family said.

Israel began blocking all the supplies of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies to Gaza on March 2 and resumed its offensive two weeks later, saying that the pressure would force Hamas to release the other hostages.

Since then, at least 1,928 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the territory.

On Tuesday night, 10 people were killed at an Israeli air strike at a school in the northeastern Tufa neighborhood in Gaza, which is used as a shelter for displaced families, according to the Hamas Civil Protection Agency.

A woman who lived in the school with her husband, children and grandchildren said they were asleep when the attack happened.

“We woke up to make us fierce from all sides. My daughters suffered burns on their hands and feet. One of the women was taken to the hospital, but we still don’t know what her condition was,” she told the BBC Arabic Gaza Lifeline program. “Several young people were burned alive.”

“This war has been dragged for almost two years. And what did it bring us? Just more death, more suffering,” she added.

Civil defense said that his first responders also restored four more bodies from attacks on two homes in the same area.

The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it had achieved “gathering terrorists operating within Hamas and (Palestinian) Islamic Jihad Center” in the school area.

He accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields – the claim that the group had repeatedly denied.

In the meantime, the UN warned that the 52-day Israeli blockade had deprived of 2.1 million Gaza population of “basic needs for human survival”. He reports to increase malnutrition and severe lack of medication in hospitals.

On Wednesday, the United Kingdom Foreign Ministers, France and Germany called on Israel to end the blockade, saying it was “intolerable”.

“We urge Israel to immediately restart a fast and unobstructed flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza to meet the needs of all civilians,” a joint statement said.

They also described as “unacceptable” Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz “The latest comments politicizing humanitarian aid and Israel plans to stay in Gaza after the war,” adding that Israel is bound by international law to allow supply to assistance.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has rejected the claim that aid is being politicized.

He also insists that the country is acting in full compliance with international law and that there is no “shortage of assistance in Gaza”, since during the recent termination of the fire at two months.

“Israel is struggling with Hamas, who steals humanitarian aid, uses it to restore his military machine and hide behind civilians,” a statement said.

“Hamas started this war, and Hamas is responsible for his continuation and for the suffering of both Palestinians and Israeli. The war may end tomorrow if the hostages are released and Hamas puts his weapons,” she added.

The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage.

Since then, more than 51,300 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the territory.
