Abu Zuhri: Abbas's behavior pushed the Palestinian issue down below zero
[ 25/09/2009 - 01:25 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, the spokesman of Hamas Movement in Gaza Strip, strongly criticized Thursday the way the former PA chief and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas is handling the Palestinian issue, accusing him of damaging the just cause of the Palestinians.
In an interview with the Quds satellite TV channel, Abu Zuhri stressed, "The Palestinian people could no more buy deceptive slogans and words that couldn’t be implemented on the ground, and at the same time Abbas and his team in Ramallah closely coordinates security with the Zionist occupation then tell the Palestinian people they were implanting conditions and terms of the roadmap plan, including fighting the Palestinian resistance, then they are indeed deceiving their people and use beautiful slogans to mislead them".
He added that Abbas, through his political action, is attaching the fate of Fatah, the PA, and the whole Palestinian issue to US and Israeli finance, "something which Abbas ought not to do."
Moreover, Abu Zuhri pointed out that the futile negotiations that Abbas and his associates were and still are conducting with the Zionist occupation have pushed the Palestinian issue down below zero, noting that the continuation of such barren negotiations provides political cover to the Israeli settlement activities on the occupied Palestinian lands.
Furthermore, Abu Zuhri said that Abbas, till now, refuses to sit with Hamas Movement to bury the hatchet between them and to restore the Palestinian unity, but he (Abbas) rushes to sit with leaders of the Zionist entity, accusing him of being the one who fights the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank.
"Now they should evaluate and confirm where they (Abbas and Fatah) are standing? Are they with reconciliation and with the Palestinian people or are they with the occupation?" Abu Zuhri remarked.
On the anticipated visit of Hamas's leader Khalid Mishaal to Cairo, Abu Zuhri disclosed that the visit aims at discussing the Egyptian paper and suggestions for national reconciliation, stressing his Movement's keenness on making the Egyptian efforts in this regard succeed.
"The ball is in Fatah's court if it really wants to achieve the national reconciliation", he said.

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement has urged Mahmoud Abbbas and his Fatah Movement to stop deceiving and misleading the Palestinian people by attaching more hopes on the "useless" negotiations with the Israelis, stressing that Israeli premier Binyamin Netanyahu emerged victorious from the trilateral meeting in New York.
In a written statement it issued Thursday and a copy of which was obtained by the PIC, Hamas opined that Netanyahu was the big winner in that meeting as he remained committed to his stands and conditions, and achieved all what he aimed at including pursuing settlement activities on the occupied Palestinian lands, and of resuming negotiations with the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority without preconditions.
On the other hand, Hamas stressed that Abbas and his team were the big losers in the meeting as they emerged empty-handed, charging that by attending the meeting, Abbas and his associates presented gratis indulgences to the Israeli leaders exonerating them from all the crimes against humanity they had committed against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip.
In the same context, Hamas deprecated the "obvious" USA bias to the Israeli occupation at the expense of the legal rights of the Palestinian people, pointing out that US president Barack Obama has flagrantly reneged on his stands (in the presence of Abbas and Netanyahu) against Israeli settlements after he urged Netanyahu to "restrain" settlement activities instead of freezing them as he previously demanded, and stressed that Israeli-PA negotiations should resume without preconditions, exactly as what Netanyahu wanted.
Moreover, Hamas castigated Obama for calling for bilateral negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians "for the time being", backing out from previous calls he made for comprehensive negotiations on all paths with Arab countries, although he reiterated his call on Arab countries to take tangible steps to normalize ties with the Zionist entity, alleging it would push the peace process forward.
Hamas urged the Ramallah-based authority not to attach hopes on the "futile" negotiations with the Israelis, and not wager on the USA after Obama's administration said its word and clearly backed the Israeli vision and conditions for peace in the region.
"The alternative for such futile steps is to stop taking national decisions individually and away from the general Palestinian consensus, and to return back to the Palestinian mainstream in order to make national reconciliation efforts succeed, to confront the big challenges united, and to impose the Palestinian will in the region", Hamas underlined in the statement.
The Movement also invited Arab countries to reject US calls for free normalization of ties with the Israeli occupation, and to ignore Obama's call on them to offer "gestures of goodwill" towards "criminal" Netanyahu and his extremist authority.
Lieberman: trilateral meeting is a victory; no halt on settlement
[ 24/09/2009 - 12:37 PM ]
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC) The extremist Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, described the trilateral meeting between Obama, Netanyahu and Abbas as a victory for Israel because it took place without Israel having to stop settlement building in the West Bank as originally demanded by the Palestinians.
He also expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the meeting and warned that the negotiations were going to be long and complicated and no one can predict the outcome.
He added that there was a slight chance for peace with the Palestinians in the future but he would prefer Palestinians agreeing the status quo stressing that there were many unresolved conflicts around the world.
He told Yediot Ahranot that he was glad that Obama did not ask Israel to "stop its settlement activity", he asked it to "restrain activities in the settlements", adding that he knows well the difference between the two in the English language.
Meanwhile, less that 24 hours after the trilateral meeting New York, the Israeli War Minster Ehud Barak approved the building of 37 housing units in the West Bank Settlement of Karnei Shomron.
