Hamas is commenting on US demands for sanctions against President Abbas

Hamas on Tuesday commented on news being circulated regarding the call for US sanctions against President Mahmoud Abbas and demanded by a member of the US Congress.
“The behavior of members of Congress is an expression of the logic of bullying and orgy practiced by US institutions,” said Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for the movement, in a press statement.
Qassim added: “This is part of the results of the policy pursued by the authority in its relationship with the United States, and a failure of the course of the settlement pursued by the authority.”
He continued: “The authority must face this step by announcing immediately the return of all the salaries of prisoners and martyrs that were previously made by the authority.”
