Hamas: Obama’s administration gives Abbas hollow promises
[ 04/11/2009 - 11:23 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas Movement has accused Wednesday the administration of US president Barak Obama of encouraging the Israeli settlement activities, and of giving Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas “hollow” promises that aren’t implemented on the ground.
“It is obvious that the Obama administration gives the Palestinian party hollow promises that it easily reneges on, but it gives the extremist Israeli government deeds and practical stands that serve the Zionist policy and encourage the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in all forms, including judaizing of Jerusalem and the expansion and construction of settlements” The Movement said in a statement it issued in reaction to the remarks of US state secretary Hillary Clinton over the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
On Monday, Clinton described the stand of Israeli premier Binyamin Netanyahu over the Israeli settlements as “unprecedented”.
Hamas, in this regard, stressed that the USA couldn’t be an honest peace broker because of its bias in favor of the Israeli occupation.
“Although we reiterate our firm rejection to the futile negotiations between Abbas and Israel, we put the blame on the behavior of Abbas in dealing with the Israelis, which opened the door wide-open for such American policy after he accepted to meet and sit with Israeli premier Binyamin Netanyahu in New York before Netanyahu freezes all forms of settlement activities in the West Bank.. He [Abbas] is reaping what he sowed” the Movement underlined.
In this regard, Hamas warned that the continuation of such futile negotiations without political horizon would badly harm the Palestinian issue, and it would give the necessary political cover for the Zionist occupation to pursue its crimes against the Palestinian civilians.
About Clinton's proposal to the Palestinians to resume negotiations with the Israelis without a freeze on settlement activities and to discus the settlement file only when the topic of delineating borders of the future Palestinian state is put on the table for discussion, Hamas said: “It is clear that the Israeli settlements would abort any chance of establishing an independent Palestinian state.”
Finally, Hamas called on Abbas and his group to stop running after the mirage of the negotiations, to come back to the Palestinian mainstream, and to work on ending the Palestinian political division instead of making it worse.
