GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas said that the statements by Fatah leaders and the practices of Abbas's militias on the ground all point that Fatah does not want to end the internal division.
Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, told the PIC on Saturday evening that the recent statement by Fatah official Nabil Shaath was "imbalanced and illogical".
Shaath said that Hamas was refusing to sign the Egyptian reconciliation document out of fear of revenge and of holding elections before reconstruction of Gaza. He also said that Hamas leaders outside Palestine did not support signing the document while those inside Gaza were keen on signing it.
Abu Zuhri said that Shaath's statement aimed at drawing the public opinion's attention away from Fatah's scandals topped by their insistence on negotiations with the Israeli occupation authority despite the latter's escalation of construction of Jewish settlements in occupied Jerusalem.
The statement is part of a campaign aimed at covering up for this scandal, the spokesman said, noting that "reconciliation is not mere ink on paper but rather practices on the ground."
Abu Zuhri pointed out that the wave of arrests in lines of Hamas cadres and supporters in the West Bank was another indication that Fatah was not serious about reconciliation.
