Hamas, the main rival to Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party, said it rejects the Palestinian Authority president’s statement on Wednesday.

“No one authorized Mahmoud Abbas to represent the Palestinain people and everything that he issued in terms of positions are not binding,” Hamas Spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri posted on Twitter.

Abu Zuhri added that Abbas’s comment that all final status issues can be resolved is unacceptable.“These national Palestinian rights belong to the Palestinian people and no one has the right to relinquish them,” he stated.
