Preach it, brother!
Abbas should also call out Kuwaiti cleric Tareq Al-Suwaidan who said Hamas should not accept a ceasefire and counseled Palestinian mothers to suckle their children on hate.

Wow. Where’s the reflexive Israel haters who post when articles about Gaza come up? Maybe they cannot wrap their heads around nuance.

I still hope Abbas and Fatah can be a moderating influence in what will surely be tense and delicate talks.
Glad to see him make that a public statement. No matter how righteous your claim, engaging an enemy with superior firepower is crazy, let along prolonging an encounter which affected the entire Gaza population.
Hamas actions were just as silly as Israel bombing an apartment building to target one apartment in the building. The world longs for the day when we can count on straight talk from both sides.

At the start of the fighting I recall that the PA went to the UN to complain first that Hamas was committing war crimes (presumably by using women and children as shields). Only later did they also complain about Israel.
Interesting turn of events.
