Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas called Monday for Hamas to surrender its weapons to his forces while condemning the group’s deadly attack on Israel in an address to a UN summit on a two-state solution.
“Hamas will have no role in governing (Gaza). Hamas and other factions must surrender their weapons to the Palestinian Authority,” he said via video link, having been denied a visa to attend by the United States.
“We also condemn the killing and detention of civilians, including Hamas actions on October 7, 2023.”
