Who originally didn't recognize Abbas's extended term?
Al Qaeda
Hamas
Hezbollah
Islamic Jihad
Answer
Hamas did not recognize Abbas's extended term as the President of the Palestinian National Authority. This is because Hamas considers Abbas to be an illegitimate leader and does not recognize the Palestinian National Authority as a legitimate government. Hamas is a militant group that is opposed to the Israeli government and wants to create an Islamic state in Palestine.
