DohaHamas’s leader offered Abbas unity talks Saturday.
Palestinians are scheduled to vote 28 November, though Hamas may be barred from running.
Abbas requires every candidate to accept the platform of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, which has recognised Israel since 1993.
“Our people have suffered at the hands of all Israeli parties,” said Khalil al-Hayya, the Hamas leader, rejecting hope of change from Israel’s vote.
Israelis vote 27 October, and Netanyahu has vowed not to withdraw troops from Gaza.
