DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Khaled Mishaal, the political bureau chairman of Hamas, has said that international parties were opposing an end to the inter-Palestinian rift.
He told reporters in Doha on Thursday night that the current discord was a suitable situation for both the USA and Israel, which is trying to utilize it to the maximum.
He said that those parties that urge Hamas to sign the Egyptian reconciliation document want his movement to sign a document that would get it out of the Palestinian political scene and decision-making process.
Hamas found itself before two options
either to bow to international and regional pressures and recognize the international quartet committee's conditions and recognize Israel
and
the second to stand firm in support of Palestinian rights and try and change the rules of the game on the ground, and it chose the second, Mishaal elaborated.
Asked on the Arab League follow up committee's decision that allowed Mahmoud Abbas to go to direct talks with Israel, he said that the Arabs were passing through a state of weakness and division.
He said that the committee's decision was ambiguous and did not give a clear-cut decision in support of such talks, but the practical result was supportive.
