Mishaal: Assigning Fayyad to form new government hampers dialog
[ 10/05/2009 - 10:33 AM ]
DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Khaled Mishaal, the political bureau chairman of Hamas, has stressed that reports about forming a new PA government in Ramallah under Salam Fayyad would only serve to impede national dialog talks in Cairo.
The national unity government should be formed at the dialog table and not in by unilateral decision, he added.
Mishaal, responding to questions by reporters on a meeting for the follow up committee of the Palestinian national conference held in Damascus on Saturday, said that another round of talks would take place on 16/5 and the reports about Fayyad's assignment would hamper dialog.
The Hamas leader underscored that his Movement would never accept the international quartet committee's conditions, describing them as "oppressive". He added that reconciliation should not be linked to accepting those conditions, explaining that foreign intervention was responsible for delaying internal conciliation.
Hamas has displayed high flexibility during the dialog talks for the sake of Palestinian interests, Mishaal said, adding that Hamas would not bargain, however, over its national constants and rights.
He denied accepting a two-state solution during an interview with the American press, adding that he said that Hamas accepted the establishment of a fully sovereign state on the 1967 occupied lands with Jerusalem as its capital after dismantling all settlements and endorsing the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
Addressing the same press conference, Ahmed Jibril, the secretary general of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine – General Command, said that Mahmoud Abbas, the former PA chief, does not represent the Palestinian people.
He said that Palestinian factions reject the Arab initiative, which press reports indicated that Arab leaders were discussing amending it to cancel the right of return.
Qassam: Grad missiles qualitative leap in resistance's deterrence capability
[ 09/05/2009 - 03:59 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Movement, on Saturday asserted that its acquisition of Grad missiles had led to an important qualitative leap in the resistance's ability to deter the "Zionist enemy".
Abu Obaida, the armed wing's spokesman, said in a press release that all Israeli intelligence reports put the Qassam's range of missiles at 25 kilometers at the most but "they (Israelis) were surprised that they (missiles) surpassed that limit".
He said that the missiles enabled resistance to retaliate to the "Zionist enemy's crimes".
The spokesman expressed conviction that Israel was adamant on waging a war on Gaza with the aim of eliminating resistance and toppling Hamas because its presence ran contrary to the capitulation project, which the "Americans and Zionists are trying to impose on the region".
"Our options were either to resist using all means available or to surrender and beg the East and West after declaring defeat, and the second option was completely rejected," Abu Obaida concluded.

Mishaal: Palestinian constants should not be compromised
[ 08/05/2009 - 03:26 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- Khaled Mishaal, the head of Hamas's political bureau, said Thursday that no one is entitled to compromise the Palestinian national constants or negotiate them, warning that no solution to the Palestinian issue would pass at the expense of those constants.
He also made it clear that his Movement wouldn’t accept less than what had been agreed upon by all Palestinian factions in 2006, and as stipulated in the "national harmony document" , stressing that the Palestinian land isn’t for sale nor is it for bargaining.
These remarks were made in a televised message addressing a rally organized in Gaza city in commemoration of two Hamas leaders Said Siyam , the late PA interior minister, and Dr. Nizar Rayyan who were assassinated by the IOF troops during the monstrous Israeli war on Gaza last January.
During his speech, Mishaal confirmed that the resistance was his Movement's strategic option to liberate Palestine, and to restore to the Palestinian people the legal rights that were usurped by the Israelis since 1948.
"The resistance is a legitimate right of the Palestinian people as long as the occupation persisted, and thus, no one has the right to block the Palestinian people from arming and defending themselves' underlined Mishaal.
Moreover, he made it clear that his Movement wouldn’t compromise the resistance option under any circumstances, underscoring, "we are steering the resistance, and we have many options in this regard".
"The cause of the problem is not the rockets fired from Gaza, but rather it is in the Israeli aggression, the persistent settlement activities, the apartheid wall, and the judaization of the Palestinian land," Mishaal pointed out.
Finally, Mishaal underlined that his Movement was and still is striving hard to achieve the Palestinian national reconciliation, and to restore the Palestinian national unity; but he urged Fatah faction and the Ramallah-based PA leadership to get rid of the foreign influence and dictates that, he stressed, derail all the efforts in this course.

Masri: Formation of new gov't in WB death declaration for national dialog
[ 09/05/2009 - 07:58 AM ]
Gaza, (PIC)-- MP Mushir Al-Masri has said that the announcement in the West Bank on the formation of a new PA government under Salam Fayyad would serve as a death declaration of the national dialog in Cairo.
The MP said that such an announcement reflected the absence of "true intentions" on the part of Fatah faction toward the national dialog.
He held former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas and his entourage the responsibility of foiling Egyptian efforts to achieve Palestinian conciliation.
Masri's statement commented on PLO executive committee's secretary general Yasser Abed Rabbo who said on Thursday that Abbas would assign Fayyad to form a new expanded PA government without Hamas participation within a week.

Masri's statement commented on PLO executive committee's secretary general Yasser Abed Rabbo who said on Thursday that Abbas would assign Fayyad to form a new expanded PA government without Hamas participation within a week.
For his part, MP Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, one of the prominent Hamas leaders, hoped that the conciliation talks in Cairo would end up in success.
He also told a rally organized by Hamas Friday night in Gaza city that his Movement was insisting on its conditions for releasing captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
[ 09/05/2009 - 08:34 AM ]
DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Mohamed Nazzal, a member of the Hamas political bureau, on Friday stated that his Movement would never agree to recognize Israel and the international quartet’s terms even if such conditions were the only way for the Palestinian reconciliation.
In a rally organized in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria, Nazzal stressed that the conditions set by international parties mainly represented in recognizing the quartet’s terms in exchange for dealing with Hamas, ending the siege and reconstructing Gaza are cheap and dishonest extortion.
The senior Hamas official pointed out that US secretary of state Hillary Clinton reiterated during her last meeting with the Egyptian head of intelligence Omar Suleiman that any Palestinian government to be formed must agree to the quartet’s terms especially the recognition of Israel.
He expressed shock and dismay at some Arab and Palestinian parties for urging Hamas leaders to accept the quartet’s terms or at least to recognize Israel, noting that PA official Ahmed Qurei had said once in the presence of representatives of Palestinian factions that Hamas has no choice but to announce outright its recognition of Israel.
The Hamas official castigated those parties for asking his Movement to accept the previous agreements signed by the PLO with Israel while Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu and his foreign minister make statements undermining the foundations upon which all the agreements with the PLO were signed.
The official warned of the "Jewish" state vision which was clearly emphasized by Netanyahu and his foreign minister, saying that such a vision poses a real danger for the Arabs living in the Palestinian lands occupied in 1948 and is aimed to expel the indigenous residents and not allow the refugees to return to their homes.
He finally underlined that the Zionist government and the visions it adopts are racist and criminal and thus must prompt Arabs and Muslims to confront it rather than bow to it.
Qassam: Grad missiles qualitative leap in resistance's deterrence capability[ 09/05/2009 - 03:59 PM ]
