Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas called on Hamas on Wednesday to “quickly finalize a prisoner exchange deal with Israel to spare further casualties to our Palestinian people.”
"The Israeli occupation is waging an open war on the Gaza Strip, leading to the daily deaths of hundreds of Palestinians,” he said.
“We must take responsibility for stopping this comprehensive war against the Palestinian people."
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected on Wednesday to push ahead with his phased plan for Gaza's future by announcing the administration that will run the war-ravaged Palestinian territory, four Palestinian sources said.
Hamas is expected to elect a new leader this month, two sources in the group told Reuters, filling the role left vacant since Israel killed Yahya Sinwar in 2024 despite concerns that a successor could suffer the same fate.
An Israeli-backed Palestinian militia said on Monday it had killed a senior Hamas police officer in the southern Gaza Strip, an incident which Hamas blamed on "Israeli collaborators".
