GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas MP Mushir Al-Masri lashed out at Nimir Hammad, the political advisor to de facto Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, for incriminating Palestinian resistance.
Masri told the PIC in an exclusive statement on Sunday that the Fatah authority in Ramallah was still insisting on providing the "Zionist enemy" with more covers and justifications to justify its attacks against the Palestinian people.
Hammad told an Egyptian daily published on Sunday that resistance in Palestine committed mistakes in the past, and championed peaceful resistance.
He opined that the negotiation process with the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) was progressing according to the latter's own agenda, charging that Fatah authority was "defeatist".
Masri urged Fatah authority to stop attacking resistance, to respect the sacrifices of the Palestinian people, and to end the frivolous negotiations with the IOA so as to return to the embraces of the Palestinian people.
Resistance is the strategic option of the Palestinian people who would never be affected by such statements, the lawmaker underlined, adding that Hamas was nevertheless adamant on national reconciliation to end the state of internal Palestinian division.
He remarked, however, that Hamas wanted reconciliation based on rights and constants and not according to the international quartet's conditions.

Among the detainees was a Palestinian businessman called Basem Thabet who was kidnapped again after his release for two days. His family says PA intelligence officers demand him to pay $50,000 for his freedom.
The militias also kidnapped another businessman called Idris Hajja from Bir Nabala town, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, after they released him for also two days. 500,000 shekels were taken from him when he was detained the first time last May.
For their part, the PA military courts issued in absentia imprisonment sentences against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The detainees are Shaker Dar Saleem, Hussein Al-Ajrab, Ra'ed Hamed and Abdul Basset Ma'tan and all of them were sentenced to three years in jail.
One Palestinian named Mohamed Abdulrahman was reportedly detained on Saturday in Qalqiliya city five days after his release from Israeli jails on a charge of his affiliation with the Islamic Jihad Movement.
In another context, the forum of Palestinian journalists demanded the immediate release of all journalists and media workers from PA jails in the West Bank, noting that reporter of Shahab news agency Abdulhalim Abu Arafa is still being exposed to torture by PA intelligence officers.
In a press release, the forum said that the persistent arrest of journalists in the West Bank reflects a black future for freedoms, especially with regard to the media, affirming that there is no one day going by without reporting the detention and prosecution of a journalist.
