Hamas was reserved Wednesday over Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas’s statement to the UN General Assembly, saying the credibility of his “emotional” speech is subject to its implementation on the ground.

Hamas said in a statement Abbas’s speech was emotional and submissive and will be judged by how long it takes him to implement his commitment to end agreements with the Israeli occupation. 

Hamas reiterated its firm rebuff of the notorious Oslo accord and the issuing concessions, calling for officially announcing its end and removing it from the history of the Palestinian people.

“Abbas did not seek advice from anybody while formulating his speech, which addressed the whole world except his partners in the same homeland,” the statement read.

Hamas said that judging Abbas's remarks is subject to their implementation on the ground.

The Movement said five steps will determine the credibility of Abbas’s position, first among which is to officially announce the end of Oslo and rescind recognition of Israel; second is to immediately cease security coordination and boost resistance in the occupied West Bank.

The group further called on Abbas to stop political arrests, release all detainees, put the reconciliation accord into effect, hold a PLO leadership meeting, and work on lifting the siege on Gaza.

Hamas also urged Abbas to bring the  Israeli war criminals before the International Criminal Court.

Addressing the UN General Assembly, Abbas said Israelis “leave us no choice but to insist that we will not remain the only ones committed to the implementation of these agreements, while Israel continuously violates them.” 

“We cannot continue to be bound by these signed agreements with Israel and Israel must assume fully all its responsibilities as an occupying power,” he added without specifying the nature of such responsibilities.
