Abbas Derides Hamas Talk of "Victory" in War Against Israel
(Times of Israel) PA President Mahmoud Abbas derided Hamas claims of victory in the conflict it waged against Israel this summer, in an interview with Egyptian television on Wednesday. "What did we get out of it?...For what did we suffer through those 50 days? We had 2,200 fatalities, 10,000 injured, 40,000 homes and facilities and factories destroyed. Tell me, what did we achieve?" Abbas also castigated Hamas for orchestrating the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank on June 12 that led to the war.
