A Hamas leader accused Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and other Arab states of pushing Israel to wage war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Islamist movement Hamas and other Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip are trying to hold on to hope, despite dwindling chances, that international and regional efforts will help alleviate Gaza’s crisis and prevent a military confrontation with Israel. However, the factions seem more worried about Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' continued obstruction of such actions.
In fact, Hamas says Abbas appears to be pushing Israel to launch a new war on the Gaza Strip.
