PA’s Abbas ‘outraged’ as Hamas takes center stage in mediation efforts
(Worthy News) – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is enraged because Egypt, Qatar and other parties chose to hold direct contacts on ways of preventing further escalation with Israel in the aftermath of the recent tensions in Jerusalem and the West Bank, a senior official with the ruling Fatah faction said.
The official, who was not identified by name, told the London-based pan-Arab media outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that Abbas “did not hide his anger” over being sidelined during the mediation efforts with his rivals in Hamas.
“These efforts show that President Abbas is no longer the only party that Arabs turn to when talking about the escalation in al-Aqsa Mosque and the West Bank,” the official added. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
