The Jerusalem Post reports: “‘Sons of dogs, hand over the hostages,’ Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told Hamas in a televised speech at the PA’s Central Council on Wednesday.

He added that the ‘war must end,’ citing that hundreds are dying every day because ‘[Hamas] doesn’t want to hand over the American hostages. Sons of dogs – hand over the hostages and end the matter.’

Abbas said the goals are ‘Returning the hostages; lifting the Israeli blockade of Gaza; stopping the displacement of our people in coordination with Arab countries; defending the ‘Palestinian cause.’‘

He also stressed that ‘Hamas must end its control of the Gaza Strip and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.’…”
