GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas spokesman Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri publicly rejected U.S. President Barack Obama’s invitation for the Fatah authority in Ramallah to resume direct negotiations, advising the Fatah movement not to get involved in any negotiations with Israel.
Abu Zuhri told a news briefing on Wednesday that the statements by Netanyahu during his meeting with Obama confirm that there is no hope for change in America’s present policy of political, material, and security support of Israel.
The spokesman said that “any participation in the negotiations with the [Israeli occupation authority] is a national crime which provides a cover for [Israel] to continue crimes against our people and our holy sites.”
He added that Obama's tribute to what he called “easing Israel’s siege” on Gaza is an attempt to beautify and legalize the siege and ensure its continuation, calling for continued international solidarity with Gaza until the siege is finally ended.
For his part, Hamas leader, Salah Bardawil, said in a press release on Wednesday, “In light of the ongoing blockade, Judiazation, and displacement of our people and representatives in Jerusalem, we consider entering into any negotiations, whether directly or indirectly, as a cover for these crimes, and direct involvement in them.”
Bardawil called on the Fatah movement to withdraw from such nonsense, to return to the Palestinian people’s side, and to adhere to Palestine’s inherent principles.
