Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed on Wednesday the foreign-mediated humanitarian deal between the terrorist Hamas group and Israel in the Gaza Strip and called for wider solutions to the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Abbas' administration, based in the West Bank, "appreciate(s) the Qatari-Egyptian (mediation) effort," wants an extended truce with Israel and "the implementation of a political solution based on international legitimacy," a social media post by senior Palestinian aide Hussein Al-Sheikh said.
