HAMAS: ISRAELI-PA NEGOTIATION HARMS NATIONAL CONSENSUS

       Gaza, 2 Shawal 1434/9 August 2013 (MINA) – Hamas Movement has called on PA and Fatah movement to cancel negotiation with the Israeli occupation authority that only “harm national reconciliation and betray the martyrs and holy sites”.

      Opting to the negotiations option instead of national unity is a moral and political crime, the movement’s statement said, pointing to the continued Israeli Judaization schemes, arrest campaigns, deportation and demolition crimes against the unarmed Palestinian people.

      According to PIC reports monitored by MINA (Mi’raj News Agency), in its statement, Hamas renewed its total rejection to the PA decision to resume negotiation with the Israeli occupation that aims to compromise the Palestinian fundamental rights.

      Hamas held Fatah responsible for the serious outcomes of its decision, saying that  the talks cannot meet with the national reconciliation and unity.

         The Israeli Occupation tries to distract the attention of Palestinians away from the serious consequences of negotiations by releasing few dozens of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails, the statement added.

         Wafa al-Ahrar exchange deal was an example of sacrifice and victory over the occupation where 1000 prisoners were released according to the resistance’s, not the Israeli, conditions, it said.

        The media campaign that accompanied the negotiation process was waged in order to cover the serious implications of the negotiation that will isolate the Gaza Strip, compromise Jerusalem and the right of return, in addition to West Bank settlement recognition, and surrendering the Jordan Valley. In other words it will liquidate the Palestinian cause, the statement continued.

        The movement called on the Palestinian people and the Arab world to stand firmly against this suspicious conspiracy that targets Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa mosque, and the Palestinian issue.(T/P03/E1)
