Hamas urges Abbas to leave Oslo Accords over Israel’s al-Quds bill

GAZA CITY: The Palestinian Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, has called upon President Mahmoud Abbas to withdraw from the Oslo Accords and put an immediate end to all its security cooperation with the Tel Aviv regime in protest at the Israeli parliament’s vote to consolidate its occupation of al-Quds.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum urged Abbas to establish a framework for Palestinian political factions on the basis of anti-Israel resistance in order to restore the rights of the Palestinian nation and disrupt the Israeli regime’s equations.He also stressed the need to “escalate the uprising in al-Quds, and rally regional and international support for justice and Palestinian cause in the face of US and Israeli radical and racist policies.”

Barhoum said that the Israeli parliament’s al-Quds bill “is in continuation of a series of attacks on the holy city and in line with targeting the Palestinian population there and falsifying history and realities.” The senior Hamas official said the Israeli regime poses a threat not only to the Palestinian nation but also to the entire Middle East region in the wake of Trump’s recognition of al-Quds as Israel’s capital, and the international community’s silence on the crimes and terrorist acts of the Tel Aviv regime.

Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli legislators approved the amendment to existing legislation on al-Quds, raising the number of required votes from 61 to 80 in the 120-seat parliament before the regime can relinquish control over any portion of the holy city to a “foreign party.”
