Zahhar: Fatah not aware of the gravity of its settlement talks with Israel

[ 18/09/2010 - 10:28 AM ]


GAZA, (PIC)-- Member of Hamas's political bureau Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that Fatah faction and its Arab allies do not realize the seriousness of the settlement process to very sensitive issues in the conflict with the Israeli occupation such as the holy city, water, security and the geographical connection between West Bank lands.

In a statement to France channel on Friday, Dr. Zahhar stated that Israel clearly wants to devour and Judaize as much of the Palestinian land as it could in order to impose a fait accompli in case any settlement agreement was reached with the Palestinians in the future.

The Hamas official also highlighted that the security cooperation between Fatah and Salam Fayyad on one side and the Israeli occupation state on the other side led to the killing and kidnapping of many Palestinian resistance fighters, officials, and members of Palestinian factions.

He noted that such security collaboration took place in the past in the Gaza Strip and made Fatah appear as a traitor and thus lose the last legislative elections.

The official stressed the importance of resisting the occupation when he was asked about what could be done after the constant talks between the Palestinians and Israel proved failure many times before, saying that the solution is to do what the French people did when their land was occupied by the Nazis and what other occupied peoples did and do for their freedom.

In another context, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said that the talks about the Israeli decision to let Fatah's authority to take over Karm Abu Salem crossing is another step to tighten the blockade on Gaza, warning this step would weaken the international solidarity with Gaza.

Spokesman Barhoum added that this step reflects the strong relationship between Fatah's authority and Israel and reveals Israeli plans to enable Fatah to control Gaza once again.
