Nasser al-Qudwa, a Palestinian former foreign minister, told FRANCE 24 that Mahmoud Abbas's 18 years at the head of the Palestinian Authority "has to end", adding that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians agree. It is their right to see new leadership, he said, adding that "85% of the Palestinians want Mister Abbas to resign".
Nasser al-Qudwa, a former foreign minister and a nephew of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, said in an interview with FRANCE 24 that it “definitely doesn’t look as if Israel is aiming at Hamas” but is actually waging a “real war of savagery” on Palestinians civilians.
