The calls for Hamas to “join political action” actually aim to legitimize the terror group and present its leaders as a bunch of politicians seeking seats in parliament and jobs in government, when the reality is anything but that.
According to reports in some media outlets, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the Iran-backed Hamas terror group to “surrender its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.”
Abbas was quoted as saying: “Hamas will not rule the Gaza Strip.” His comment came long after the current war, which began on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas terrorists and “ordinary” Palestinians invaded Israel, and murdered 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals and wounded thousands.
Another 251 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, where 50 – alive and dead – are still held captive.
