Hamas: Abbas’s speech clearly mourns the futile peace process
[ 06/11/2009 - 02:23 PM ]
DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement has said on Thursday that the speech of Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas was plain and clear-cut announcement of the failure of the "peace process" which he and his Fatah faction have been wagering on for almost two decades.
In a statement the movement issued on Abbs’s speech, Hamas stressed that as dramatic change must be introduced to correct the political path that Abbas and his team had led, and that no one should insist on that path anymore because it proved to be harmful and destroying to the Palestinian national cause.
The Movement also stressed that obvious American bias in favor of “Israel” at the expense of the Palestinian national rights calls on all Palestinian parties to consolidate their ranks and to build the national stand based on the Palestinian national interests and not on the conditions of the Quartet Committee.
Furthermore, Hamas underlined that national responsibility requires telling the Palestinian people the truth that the "peaceful settlement" option was nothing but an illusion, adding that no time should be wasted in pursing that path, and that the resistance path must be adopted and respected, and that all forms of security coordination with the Israeli occupation must be halted.
In addition, Hamas highlighted the need to rebuild the PLO on national basis as was agreed upon in the Cairo declaration in 2005, and that a new Palestinian national authority that would properly handle the Palestinian national affairs must be created.
As far as Abbas’s decision that he wasn’t interested in contesting the presidential elections, Hamas stressed, “the issue is not whether or not Abbas would run for presidential post … this is a personal choice because the Palestinian issue was and would remain bigger and more important than all Palestinian leaders”.
Hamas also called on Abbas and the Fatah faction to “sincerely” go to the national reconciliation, to organize the Palestinian internal affairs, to restore Palestinian unity, and not to unilaterally call and go for presidential and legislative elections before achieving the national reconciliation.
Nazzal: Abbas’s speech vague, unconvincing

GAZA, (PIC)-- Mohammed Nazzal, the member of Hamas’s political bureau, has described Thursday the speech of Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas as “vague”, “uncomforting”, and “unconvincing”, adding that the coming days would reveal Abbas’s real intentions.
“This is not the first time Abbas threatens to resign… he had threatened to resign five years ago, and he used to reiterate this statement as a kind of threat”, asserted Nazzal in an interview with the Quds satellite TV channel.
He also refuted Abbas’s accusations to Hamas, saying, “It is the wrong strategy of Abbas that led the Palestinian people to deadlock and foiled our efforts to achieve the national reconciliation, however, we would relentlessly strive to achieve it”.
Nazzal also shrugged off Abbas’s claims that he (Abbas) was correct when he adjourned the voting on the crucial Goldstone report in the UNHRC, underlining it was Abbas who asked his envoy to the UN to withdraw the report but he was compelled to retable it again before the UN body after the overwhelming anger in the Palestinian and Arab arenas that was generated by the withdrawal decision.
For his part, Maher Al-Tahir, member of the political bureau of PFLP, seconded Nazzal’s remarks and described Abbas’s speech as clear confession that his political option had failed.
“Based on the tangible and concrete facts that the political experience of Abbas has produced, he decided not to contest the elections; because he finally realized that Israel wants to liquidate the Palestinian issue and it wasn’t interested in peace with full and clear political support from the United States, which was also the same conviction of the late PA chief and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat after the Camp David summit in the year 2000”, Tahir underlined in an interview with Al-Jazeera satellite TV channel.
Moreover, Tahir pointed out, “since the inking of the ill-fated Oslo agreement in 1993, the PFLP warned that the agreement would not retrieve the legal rights of the Palestinian people, and that the Israeli occupation government wasn’t interested in peace, in addition to the fact that the United States wasn’t a honest broker for peace but, in fact, it was and still is against the Palestinian national interests”.
