EGYPT FM: WE WILL NOT STOP OUR EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE PALESTINIAN RECONCILIATION
“We implement the law …and we do not comment on court rulings, ” he said at a press conference on Tuesday (3/4), Egypt Independent quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
The minister also said no one is to threaten the Egyptian national interests, whether Hamas or anyone else.
“We consider the Palestinians as brothers,” he said.
The Cairo Court for Urgent Matters on Tuesday has banned all activities in Egypt by Hamas pending a court verdict in an espionage allegation involving ousted president Mohamed Morsi and members of the Islamist Palestinian group.
The court also banned all “organisations or groups branching from, financed or supported by Hamas,” a judicial source told Ahram Online.
Hamas has also denied any involvement in prison breaks or illegal cooperation with the ousted Islamist leader. The group stressed out even though it has a good relationship with the Brotherhood in Egypt, but it would not interfere in the internal affairs of his counterpart.
The group said on Tuesday it had been a subject of an “unprecedented media and political campaign of incitement and defamation” in Egypt.
Hamas was prompt to criticise the ruling, saying that it ‘strongly condemned’ what it described as an ‘unjustifiable’ and ‘highly political’ decision that was based on ‘fabrications and false news.’ (T/P03/E01)
