Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said during a Gaza press conference, “The hudna (ceasefire with Israel) must continue in 2006; it is a gift we are giving to our people.”
Abbas also condemned the recent Qassam rocket fire towards Israel, saying, “I want one person to tell me what good these rockets bring; they fall in our territory and cause Israel to respond and kill our people.” (Ali Waked)
