GAZA, (PIC)-- Spokesman for Hamas parliamentary bloc Salah Al-Bardawil stressed Sunday that there can never be national reconciliation on the basis of recognizing the Israeli occupation, deploring Fatah faction for its insistence on that since the beginning of the inter-Palestinian dialog.
During a lecture he gave before members of the Palestinian security apparatuses in Khan Younis, lawmaker Bardawil underscored that the national unity cannot be achieved without maintaining the Palestinian constants and the resistance option.
The lawmaker reviewed in his speech the conspiracies plotted by Mahmoud Abbas and his entourage against the Movement of Hamas and his involvement in tightening the Israeli blockade on Gaza and obstructing the reconstruction efforts.
He also revealed that Abbas thwarted a French-brokered prisoner swap agreement that could have led to the release of all Palestinian prisoners specified by Hamas.
The lawmaker emphasized, in another context, that his Movement would not allow Fatah leaders in Gaza to participate in their movement’s sixth conference to be held in the West Bank, before the release of all political prisoners from the jails of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
A report issued by Hamas said that the PA militias in the West Bank carried out 214 different assaults and attacks on Hamas cadres and supporters and kidnapped 165 citizens during July.
The report noted that the kidnapping campaigns concentrated in the districts of Tulkarem, Jenin and Qalqiliya, adding that many political prisoners were severely tortured during the month, 13 of them were consequently transferred to hospitals.
In another context, Hamas in the West Bank deplored the persistent policy of dismissing civil servants from their jobs because of their political affiliation, saying that such outrageous behavior stems from sick minds and racist mentalities that cannot think beyond fulfilling Israel’s demands against the Palestinian resistance.
“The brothers who were fired from their jobs are new victims added to the list of thousands of victims of crime, injustice and aggression practiced by Abbas’s security apparatuses in the West Bank. This criminality will certainly end with divine or human revenge sooner or later,” Hamas highlighted in a press statement on Sunday.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Spokesman for the Palestinian government Taher Al-Nunu stated Saturday that the participation of Fatah leaders in Gaza in their faction's sixth conference is in the hands of Mahmoud Abbas, former PA chief and Fatah leader, who could issue a decision ordering the release of all political prisoners in his jails.
“Fatah has to declare clearly its commitment to the release of all political detainees in the West Bank, empty prisons, put an end to this phenomenon completely and provide Gaza with its share of travel passports,” spokesman Nunu underscored.
The spokesman also rejected the remarks made by Fatah official Nabil Shaath that his faction would take action to resolve the outstanding issue when its leaders are allowed to leave for the West Bank, saying that Hamas had tried such pledges and promises made by Fatah.
“We want realistic and practical implementation because all factions had previously agreed on ending the file of political prisoners, and in the last round of dialog held in February in Cairo, Fatah backtracked on the release of political detainees,” the spokesman explained.
Regarding reported news about pressures made by some countries on Hamas to allow Fatah leaders to leave Gaza, the spokesman said that his Movement explained its position in this regard and these countries understood this position.
During a ceremony held Friday by Hamas to honor the families of martyrs of Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza, Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil, the spokesman for Hamas parliamentary bloc, warned that what is happening to Hamas cadres in the West Bank, will happen to Fatah in Gaza.
Dr. Bardawil stressed that those who kidnap women, kill imams and torture university students would never achieve victory and their defeat is inevitable.
He pointed out that Fatah leaders was demanding them during all rounds of the national dialog to recognize the Israeli occupation, stressing that this can never happen no matter what the sacrifices are.
