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."
Hamas is cementing its hold over Gaza by placing loyalists in key government roles, collecting taxes and paying salaries, according to an Israeli military assessment seen by Reuters and sources in the Palestinian enclave.
An independent United Nations body on Tuesday condemned what it described as vicious attacks based on disinformation by several European ministers against the organisation's special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese.
At least nine Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the northern and southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, Hamas civil defence said, in what Israel's military called a response to ceasefire violations.
