In this Dec. 22, 2018, file photo, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas gestures as he speaks during a meeting of the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The Western-backed Palestinian Authority is threatening to step up pressure on Hamas amid renewed tensions in Gaza, even as Israel allows a lifeline of Qatari aid to flow directly to the Islamic militants. Abbas wants to reassert his authority over Gaza, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to preserve calm ahead of April's elections. (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed, File)
