Israel Tells PA: Abduction Was Perpetrated with Approval of Senior Hamas Officials
(Israel Hayom) Daniel Siryoti and Shlomo Cesana - A senior Palestinian source confirmed that during a phone conversation between PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, the prime minister presented Abbas with clear evidence of Hamas' involvement in the abduction, which was perpetrated with the knowledge and approval of senior Hamas political officials. The senior PA source said, "The understandings with Hamas, which made it possible to create the unity government...included commitments from Hamas not to undertake violence and terror. But the more evidence is collected, the more it appears that Hamas betrayed the trust it was given and that the organization exploited the reconciliation agreement to throw sand in our eyes and reopen its terrorist network in the West Bank, which harms not only Israel but also the Palestinian Authority."
