RAMALLAH: Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas directly accused Hamas on Monday of carrying out a bomb attack against prime minister Rami Hamdallah in Gaza last week, threatening fresh sanctions against them. Abbas had previously said the Islamist group was responsible as it controls security in the Palestinian enclave, but Monday evening said they were “behind the attack.” He said he would take “national, legal and financial measures” against Hamas in response. Hamdallah was not hurt by the roadside bomb that Palestinian officials labelled an assassination attempt.
