AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Palestinian MP Nazzar Ramadan warned that continued arrests targeting Hamas in the West Bank could detonate Hamas-Fatah unity talks.
West Bank security services rounded up four Hamas men in Nablus, Ramallah, and Al-Khalil and summoned dozens, as ruling parties gathered in Cairo to sign a deal that would end the Palestinian split.
He said it is inconceivable to stand in the way as Hamas and Fatah embark on the historic event.
Reconciliation has been a popular, national demand, he said. An atmosphere must be created to restore confidence in the involved parties.
"How can political cooperation succeed in the management of national affairs if the painful past is not forgotten and we don't return things how they were,” he said. ”Aren't the arrests, summonses, and raids by Palestinians against their brother Palestinians a time bomb that will explode reconciliation talks?”
"The past years that Palestinians have lived in division have had a negative impact on our culture and political discourse and our foreign relations and our prestige and reputation,” he explained.
He said that efforts must be made by everyone to create a suitable atmosphere so that the fate of the unity deal does not turn out like that of the one signed in Makkah.
