DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Ezzat Al-Resheq, member of the Hamas political bureau, has described results of the trilateral meeting between former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli premier Binyamin Netanyahu, and US president Barack Obama as big blow to Abbas and his associates, and to all those wagering on the futile negotiations with the Zionist entity.

In a press statement on Thursday, Resheq called on Abbas to free himself from fancies, and to stop the policy of compromise.

"The outcomes of the Abbas-Netanyahu-Obama meeting were indeed a big blow to the first, victory to the second, and an achievement to the third, and categorically refute the rumors on a rift in the US-Israeli relationship after Netanyahu refused to heed US call to freeze settlement activities on the occupied Palestinian lands", Resheq pointed out.

He added that the summit was a good chance for leaders of the White House, in the presence of Abbas, to confirm their commitment to the security of the Zionist entity and of their understanding of its hostile policies towards the Palestinian people, noting that both Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman and Netanyahu have hailed the meeting and expressed comfort about the results.

Moreover, Resheq charged that the speech of Obama at the United Nations about the Middle East was deceptive and in the same way his predecessor George W. Bush used to mislead and sell illusions.

"The fact that Obama failed to pressure the Zionist entity to freeze settlement activities in the West Bank and in Jerusalem while urging the Palestinians to go ahead with the negotiations without preconditions meant to give more time to the Israeli party to continue the settlement activities and to impose facts on the ground that would make creating an independent and viable Palestinian state something impossible", Resheq stressed.

Resheq called on the Arab and Muslim countries not to fall for the American bait, urging them to bolster the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and to break the unjust siege on them.

He also invited Abbas to refrain from dealing with US and Israeli promises, adding that it is about time for Abbas to listen to national interests of the Palestinian people and that he should work sincerely to end the Palestinian political division.
