Mishaal: Obama kept Dayton as a repressive authority in the West Bank

CAIRO, (PIC)-- Khaled Mishaal, the head of the Hamas political bureau, said Wednesday that US president Barack Obama kept a repressive authority against the Palestinians in the West Bank when he asked Keith Dayton to remain in his post as a supervisor of the PA-Israeli security coordination.
In a press statement, Mishaal said that Obama spoke about democracy in his speech to the Islamic world last Thursday, but he contradicted himself when he imposed Dayton on the Palestinians because he represents a suppressive authority in the West Bank.
He said that despite Obama’s use of a new language different from his predecessor George Bush’s administration, the point is not only in changing the speech tone, but in the action taken on the ground, adding that both Arabs and Palestinians expect Obama to implement what he declared regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The political leader of Hamas pointed out that Obama ignored in his speech Israel’s last war in Gaza and its judaization crimes in the West Bank.
The Hamas leader also slammed Obama for comparing the situation of the Palestinian cause to what happened to the blacks in America and South Africa in the past, explaining that in Palestine, there is occupation which must be confronted with resistance, but the case with US and South African blacks was a struggle for civil rights.
As for his recent visit to Egypt, the Hamas leader stated that he went to Cairo at the invitation of Omar Suleiman, the director of Egyptian intelligence, noting that Suleiman expressed his understanding of what happens in the West Bank and promised to work hard to eliminate the security obstacles to the national dialog.
