Abbas urges militants to honour ceasefire
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas today urged militant groups to honour a ceasefire with Israel, saying no one has the right to decide on his own to violate the understanding.
Since Abbas declared the truce last February, militant groups have periodically carried out attacks.
“If we feel this truce is no longer active …. We will agree on that and take a decision,” Abbas told lawmakers.
”But no one can take this decision alone and say they are defending the Palestinian people.”
