The Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas says that keeping the captives provides Israel justification for their attacks against Gaza.
Hamas has condemned comments made by the president of the Palestinian Authority (PA) Mahmoud Abbas, who urged the Palestinian group to govern Gaza to release Israeli captives and leave weapons.
Hamas’ senior official, Basem Naim said Thursday that Abbas comments made one day before were “insulting.”
“Abbas repeatedly presses and suspiciously the fault of the crimes of the occupation and belongs to our people,” he said.
Abbas urged Hamas on Wednesday to free the captives, saying that maintaining them provided Israel “to subscribe” to attack Gaza.
“Hamas has apologized to the criminal occupation to commit his crimes in the Gaza Strip, the most prominent is the possession of the hostages,” Abbas said in a meeting in Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian authority in western Israeli Coconut.
“I am the one who pays the price, our people are paying the price, not Israel. My brother, just giving them.”
“Every day there are deaths,” said Abbas. “You children of dogs, give what you have and take us out of this,” he added, added a hard Arab epithet in Hamas.

There are deep political and ideological divisions of legs between the FATAH party of Abbas and Hamas for almost 20 years.
Abbas and AP have often accused Hamas of undermining the Palestinian unit, while he has criticized the first for collaborating with Israel and taking energetic measures in the West Bank.
The Mujahideen Palestinian movement, which separated from the ABBAS fatah in the 2000s, issued a statement on Telegram on Wednesday condemning Abbas’s comments.
“We firmly condemn the offensive statements made by President Abbas during the Central Council meeting regarding the resistance and resistance combatants of our people, ignoring the sacrifices and the struggle of our people and ignorant, reading and staging.”
“We condemn the AP leaders continued the search for this speech, which criminalizes the resistance and acquit the occupation of their onnsbosed against our people for decades, especially the Genocidal Wargast Bank, annexation and Judaization and Judaization suffered our brave prisoners.”
The movement also asked Abbas to issue an apology for his comments.
“We call on the president of the Palestinian authority to apologize for this offensive discourse and reinvest all the steps that reinforce the division and align with the Zionist will. We call their return to the hug of people and their elections and stop pursuing the absurd.”
Since Israel’s campaign in Gaza resumed on March 18, at least 1,928 people have been killed in Gaza, which brought the number of deaths for death since the war broke out to at least 51,305, according to the Ministry of Health of the Enclave.
The conversations about a new fire so far have an unsuccessful leg, and a delegation of Hamas is in Cairo for renewed negotiations with Egyptian mediators and Qatari.
