JERUSALEM — Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has severely criticized Hamas, demanding the release of the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza and the disarmament of the militant group.Abbas said the priority is to stop “the Israeli genocide that the Gaza Strip is being subjected to.” He said the hostages present an excuse for Israel to continue attacking the besieged territory.“Release the hostages and block their justifications,” Abbas said in a lengthy televised speech from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.Israel has vehemently denied accusations of genocide, saying its war in Gaza is being fought in self-defense and targets Hamas.The unprecedented remarks are perhaps Abbas’s strongest public criticism of Hamas to date and mark a significant shift in...
