Report: Abbas threatened to cut all ties with Israel if Hamas-Israel agreement reached

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has threatened to terminate all ties with Israel, including security cooperation, if a ceasefire agreement is reached between Israel and Hamas, according to a report in the Al-Hayat newspaper.

 

The threat was said to have persuaded the Egyptians, who are in the midst of brokering an arrangement with Hamas and Israel, to prioritize Palestinian internal reconciliation before pursuing a ceasefire agreement that would restore calm on Israel’s southern border.
