United Arab List chairman Mansour Abbas abruptly left a live interview after refusing to answer repeated questions about whether he supports dismantling the Hamas organization. The tense exchange ended when Abbas told the interviewers he was not 'under interrogation' and exited the conversation.

Later, Abbas clarified his stance, stating that he had previously outlined his vision for the future of the Gaza Strip, which includes an international force replacing the current regime and Palestinian forces being trained to govern. He emphasized his support for a new governing and security reality in Gaza and the pursuit of peace and reconciliation, distancing himself from more hardline political figures.
