Ramallah, 2 Muharram/15 October 2015 (MINA) – President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday said Palestinians will uphold the political, national and legal struggle and will not remain hostage to agreements disregarded by Israel.

Abbas addressed the Palestinian people in a televised speech and said “The Aggressive and growing Israeli attack
against our people, land, and holy places undermine peace and stability. This attack threatens to ignite the fuse
of a religious war, which will burn everything, not only in the region, perhaps even in the entire world.”

is too late, Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) quoted Palestinian News Agency WAFA as reporting.
