Abbas calls Hamas ‘sons of dogs’ and demands release of hostages

In a recent speech in Ramallah, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Hamas, referring to them as “sons of dogs,” and urged the group to release hostages and disarm to end the ongoing war with Israel. Abbas accused Hamas of providing Israel with justifications for its military actions, while Hamas officials criticized his remarks as derogatory towards Palestinians. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens, with rising casualties and a severe blockade by Israel, prompting international calls for the resumption of aid and a ceasefire.
