Abbas’ advisor against Hamas: Hamas only wants power, doesn’t care about the people, destroyed Gaza
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "Hamas wants to remain [in power] and nothing more. People will get killed, people will be lost… die… live, the Gaza Strip will be destroyed, it doesn't matter [to Hamas]. One of them once said: ‘Even if the Gaza Strip will be destroyed, we will not surrender.' And indeed, it has been destroyed, or it is on the path to destruction... What Hamas wants is to remain in the picture, even at the expense of the Palestinian people and at the expense of the Palestinian people's blood."
