PNA President Abbas: the purpose of killing Haniya is to prolong and expand the war
The purpose of resonant murder the head of the Hamas Politburo Ismail Haniyeh is prolonging the war and expanding its scope, said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
In an interview with RIA Novosti, Abbas said that he has “no doubt” that that the killing would make it difficult to negotiate an end to the Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
He called the crime “a cowardly act and a dangerous development in Israeli politics,” noting that despite a decades-long conflict with Hamas, Palestine has come out condemnation of the murder of Haniyeh.
