GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas declared rejection of statements by de facto Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in which he defended the defunct regime of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said in a press release on Tuesday that Abbas's statement in which he said that he warned the American administration against the consequences of the downfall of Mubarak regime revealed his enmity to the Egyptian people's revolution and his defense of the corrupt regimes even after their downfall.

He said that such statements posed as flagrant interference in the internal affairs of an Arab country that is supportive of the Palestine cause.

The spokesman affirmed his movement's backing to the Egyptian people's revolution and rejection of Abbas's statements, considering that his position only reflected his own stand and not that of the Palestinian people.
