Mishaal Calls For Real Partnership to Outs Israeli Occupation

Gaza, 2 Safar 1438/2 November 2016 (MINA) – Political Bureau Head of Hamas, Khaled Mishaal, called Wednesday for a unified anti-occupation strategy to rehabilitate the Palestinian cause after peace talks have reached a deadlock.

Speaking during the Fourth Annual Conference on the Palestinian National Security, Mishaal said the Israeli occupation can only be ousted if a real national unity sees the day, the Palestinian information Center (PIC) reported.

“There is no way out of the internal rift without a real national partnership so as to build our life and politics on a democratic basis,” said Mishaal.

“We have to be partners in taking up the responsibility and in war/peace decision-making.”

The Hamas leader highlighted that 100 years have passed by since the notorious Balfour Declaration saw the day On Friday, Nov. 2, 1917 but the Palestinian people have remained steadfast at all stages of the national liberation struggle.

Mishaal added that the Israeli occupation has entered a phase of self-doubting and seeks to snatch legitimacy by all means possible.

Mishaal also said it is high time the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) opted for a cohesive national political strategy.

“Hamas longs for a real cooperation with strong partners,” Mishaal stated. “The Palestinians deserve a leadership that works around the clock to protect the people and the cause.”
