Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Ramadan Shallah denounced ongoing talks between Israeli and Palestinian officials in Washington. President Abbas said he is opposed to the establishment of a free trade zone between Gaza and Egypt, which Hamas has repeatedly requested. Human Rights Watch called on the Palestinian Authority to investigate recent actions by PA security forces during a rally by PFLP supporters. A senior Hamas official said the Palestinian group seeks to retain its ties to Iranian-backed Hezbollah. The Palestinian Authority released a report claiming that Israel recently kidnapped Wael Abu Reda, a Gaza-based terrorist, from the Sinai.
