According to the report, Mahmoud Abbas has called Hamas "sons of dogs" in a fiery speech in which he demanded the group release the hostages it is still holding, disarm, and hand over control of Gaza to end the war with Israel. The president of the Palestinian Authority told a meeting in the occupied West Bank that Hamas had given Israel "excuses" to continue its attacks on Gaza, and told it to "release the hostages and be done with it".
The report said that the remarks were the strongest against the group that the president has delivered since the war began 18 months ago. A Hamas official condemned what he called Abbas's "derogatory language" towards "a significant proportion of his own people. Last week, the group rejected an Israeli proposal for a new ceasefire in Gaza, which included a demand to disarm in return for a six-week pause in hostilities and the release of 10 of the 59 remaining hostages.
The report added that Hamas reiterated that it would hand over all of the hostages in exchange for an end to the war and a full Israeli withdrawal. It also ruled out giving up its weapons. The president also said Hamas must "hand over" responsibility for Gaza and its weapons to the PA, and transform into a political party.
