Abbas has “no reservations about any action” – taken by joint Fatah–Hamas committee

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: "You must begin – senior officials, secretary-generals, and deputy secretary-generals – establishing these committees and these activities so that they will begin their work immediately. I will have no reservations about any action or committee, or about any person or organization in any committee or action. I will also have no reservations about any decision made by these activists. Take into account that from now on I agree to everything.”

Abbas is referring to The United National Leadership of the Popular Resistance

Several Fatah members have stated openly that “all means of struggle” are legal – i.e., including the armed struggle.
