GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri called on the countries whose passports were used by the Mossad in Dubai operation to prosecute the perpetrators and those who gave orders especially Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a press release, spokesman Abu Zuhri said that the information revealed by the British Sunday Times newspaper on Netanyahu’s approval of the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh is consistent with what his Movement had already stated about the Mossad’s responsibility for the crime.
He noted that the Mossad cannot carry out any operation before taking the OK from the Israeli premier.
Abu Zuhri also strongly denounced the UN for not including the crime of assassinating one of Hamas senior officials in Dubai in its monthly report on the situation in the Middle East and accused the UN of covering up the Israeli "terrorism".
The spokesman stressed that the exclusion of Dubai crime from this report challenges the credibility of this international institution and confirms its bias in favor of Israel against the Palestinian usurped rights.
In a separate statement, the Movement of Hamas on Sunday stressed the need for coordinating and combining the efforts with Dubai officials to disclose the circumstances of the assassination of Mabhouh instead of making hasty media remarks.
The Movement rejected the claims made by the Dubai chief of police about the involvement of a Hamas member in the operation, asserting that the Mossad’s intelligence activities against its leaders do not mean that there is internal security breach.
The statement pointed out that Hamas already started its investigation into the crime, but it hopes that the authorities in Dubai would cooperate with it in this regard.
In the same context, senior Hamas official Salah Al-Bardawil told Al-Jazeera satellite channel on Sunday that his Movement asked more than once the authorities in Dubai to involve it in the investigation on the killing of Mabhouh, but to no avail.
Bardawil stressed that the accusation made by the Dubai chief of police of the involvement of a Hamas member is only a conclusion.
He added that Hamas knows that the Palestinians involved in the assassination were affiliated with Fatah, but it considers them as Mossad agents and refuses to accuse Fatah of participating in the crime.

AMMAN, (PIC)-- Izzat Al-Resheq, a senior Hamas political official, said that his Movement is still trying to convince Dubai authorities to involve it in the investigation conducted on the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh.
In a press statement to the Jordanian newspaper Al-Sabeel published on Sunday, Resheq added that the complete picture of the crime would not be revealed without joint cooperation between Hamas and Dubai authorities.
He affirmed that Hamas formed a high-level committee to find out the background details of the assassination of Mabhouh, expressing hope that the investigation efforts being made by Hamas and Dubai authorities could come together to achieve better results.
For his part, senior Hamas official Sami Khater said that the involvement of Palestinian suspects in the killing of Mabhouh does not change the truth that the Mossad is the only party responsible for the crime.
“We said from the beginning that the party responsible for the assassination is the Mossad and if it succeeded in recruiting some elements whether Palestinian or of another nationality, that does not change the truth,” Khater highlighted in a statement on Sunday to the Palestinian information center (PIC).
“The only party that perpetrated, planned and was responsible for the crime is the Mossad and we only accuse the Mossad,” he added.
The Hamas official urged Dubai police to provide further explanation on the information they revealed about the use of diplomatic European passports in the assassination, noting that the European countries should assume their responsibilities in this regard and investigate the Mossad’s use of their official documents to carry out the crime.
