Abbas’ advisor calls on Hamas to join PLO
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "We in the PLO understand that we are like the father or mother of the child. We cannot wish anything but all the best for our people or our Palestinian factions, regardless of what their views are or whether we agree or disagree with them. But we just want all of us to join this one Palestinian home whose name is the PLO so that we all unite against the occupation (i.e., Israel)."
