Mahmoud Abbas: "I'm against lifting the Gaza naval blockade"

What does this do to the the global narrative?

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is opposed to lifting the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip because this would bolster Hamas, according to what he told United States President Barack Obama during their meeting at the White House Wednesday. Egypt also supports this position.

Wow, Abbas must be a Zionist or something. I mean, he is more afraid of Hamas than he is of that tyrannical Israeli government? Doesn't he know about the plight of the Palestinian people?
