US President Joe Biden spoke to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas today (Sunday), over a week after the Hamas massacre of over 1,300 Israelis on Simchat Torah.
Abbas was told that the US, Israel and the Qataris, are working to promote the liberation of women and children from Hamas custody.
According to reports, Abbas made his first condemnation of the Hamas massacre, but it was noted that it was clearly not an absolute condemnation. Abbas also supported Egypt's refusal to accept the residents of Gaza who are attempting to escape.
