The Islamic Resistance Movement “ Hamas” denounces Mahmoud Abbas’s offensive criticism against the leader, Mahmoud Al Zahar. Taking into serious consideration the current critical phase of the Palestinian cause, preserving our national unity to confront the Israeli agendas and respecting the Palestinian people’s sacrifices, Hamas will not respond to this offense and assures that El Zahar, the father of two martyrs,has exerted a lot of efforts in achieving reconciliation and his life is full of struggle and sacrifices which cannot be obliterated by such offensive language.
