Hamdan: Abbas hampering reconciliation efforts

[ 24/04/2011 - 09:47 AM ]

BEIRUT, (PIC)-- Osama Hamdan, in charge of international relations in Hamas, said that his movement was interested in restoring Palestinian national unity and that it welcomed bids toward that end by a number of countries.

He said in a press statement on Sunday that no one could blame Hamas after premier Ismail Haneyya invited de facto Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to visit Gaza and engage in direct and comprehensive dialog.

Hamdan charged Abbas with foiling the reconciliation efforts, noting that he bypassed Haneyya's invite and launched his own initiative declaring readiness to visit Gaza and form a government of technocrats that would set a date for general elections.

Abbas clearly announced that he rejects dialog, which uncovers who is really obstructing dialog toward national reconciliation, Hamdan pointed out.
