DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Ezzat Al-Resheq, member of Hamas's political bureau, said Friday that no pressures would let Hamas recognize the Israeli occupation of Palestine as the Quartet Committee wants, urging the USA to change its policy in the region.
In an interview with the Quds Press, Resheq warned certain Arab and Palestinian parties of "swimming against strong Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim current wishing to achieve the Palestinian national reconciliation and end the political rift in the Palestinian arena".
He also pointed out that the PA authority in Ramallah and "moderate" Arab countries put the file of the national reconciliation behind their back and lost interest in it due to the continued American veto against achieving such Palestinian dream.
"I believe that the file of the reconciliation stalled, and Mahmoud Abbas and his team in Ramallah weren’t anymore interested in the file of the reconciliation on fears the USA might stop the 250 million dollars she gives to them as assistance unless Hamas pays political prices for it", noted Resheq.
He charged that Abbas and Arab countries backing him were taking the Egyptian paper as pretext to thwart any sincere efforts to end the Palestinian political crisis but the fact is, he added, that those parties were gasping behind the mirage of peace and try to deceive the Palestinian people with that illusion.
He also disclosed that prior to the Arab summit in the Libyan city of Sert, a number of Arab leaders worked hard to reconcile the Palestinian parties and they almost succeeded in that after Hamas demonstrated flexibility in many files, however, he underscored, their efforts went in vain after a number of "moderate" Arab officials insisted that Hamas should recognize the Israeli occupation and meet the Quartet's conditions.
"They (moderate leaders) even told us that all our reservation on the Egyptian paper will be taken into consideration not as an annex but rather on the original script of the paper if we accepted those conditions", Resheq confirmed.
In this regard, Resheq made it clear that his Movement although striving hard to achieve national reconciliation, yet, it won't recognize the Zionist entity regardless of the price it might pay for it, stressing, "We want it a Palestinian-Palestinian reconciliation without American or any external dictates because we aren’t happy with the current political rift in the Palestinian arena".
He also urged the US administration to change its biased policy in the region if it wants indeed to gain credibility and achieve results because, he emphasized, the current US policy of favoring the Zionist entity and extorting the Palestinians would neither breed peace nor establish stability in the region".

Ismael Haneyya, the legitimate Palestinian prime minister, asserted Thursday that his government would foil the Israeli deportation decision against Palestinians living in the West Bank as they did before in Marj Al-Zohoor in 1992.
"We will break that decision with our resoluteness because the Palestinian generation of today will not allow that decision to pass", said Haneyya as he paid tribute to Palestinian poet Abdul Rahman Baroud who passed away few days ago.
He also underlined that a tent will be established at Beit Hanoun crossing point for those expelled by the Israeli occupation forces from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip as an indication of rejecting the Israeli decision.
In 1992, the government of the perished Israeli premier Yitzhak Rabin deported 415 Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders to southern Lebanon but were forced to bring them back few months later after they decided to remain at the borders and not to enter Lebanon.
Moreover, Haneyya reiterated his government's readiness to achieve the Palestinian national harmony, underlining that his government and Hamas Movement were moving on three tracks to achieve it.
However, he said that the true challenges that face the Egyptian paper was how to stop all forms of security coordination between the PA security forces in the West Bank and the Israeli occupation troops against the Palestinian resistance and Hamas members there.
As far as the anticipated visit of US envoy George Mitchell to the region, Haneyya undermined the visit, stressing that the meetings between Mitchell and the PA officials in Ramallah was meant to give political cover to the Israeli policies against the Palestinian people and land.
"What kind of peace negotiations they were talking about while the Israeli enemy judaizes Jerusalem everyday, builds settlements everyday, and expels Palestinians from their homeland???", Haneyya questioned.
Finally, Haneyya hailed Baroud for the precious contributions he extended to the Palestinian issue and people, saying that the late poet sent a message to Hamas before his death urging it to preserve three crucial aspects, the first, he said, was an advice to Hamas to preserve unity among all Palestinian parties, especially with the Islamic Jihad Movement; the second was to preserve the moderate Islam that Hamas was and still is adopting and not to allow extremism penetrate the Palestinian land; and the third was to preserve Palestinian national constants and not to give them up at any cost.
