Hamas: No Reconciliation in Light of PA’s Ties With Zionists
GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – Hamas says it will not reconcile with anyone who believes in security cooperation with the Zionist regime, a member of the Palestinian resistance movement’s political bureau says.
Speaking to Al-Watan Voice, Mahmoud Al-Zahar said on Monday, “The message of Hamas is very clear: Resistance is winning even if Hamas vanished… The liberation of Palestine is a fact which will materialize soon.”
“We resist the Israeli occupation of Palestine and we resist the Israeli aggression on Palestinian prisoners, Al-Quds and worshippers.”
He stressed that the Palestinian resistance has the right to use “all forms of resistance mandated by international laws and conventions, including armed resistance.”
Regarding the prisoners, he said: “Liberating the prisoners is a sacred issue for us, and we will use any means to liberate them.”
Zionist war minister Benny Gantz said on Monday that he met with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas for security reasons, as well as to fight Hamas, local media reported.
“And this is the reason I will continue to meet with him [Abbas] and other elements in the region with whom discourse helps our stability, security and interests,” Gantz said.
Meanwhile, Zionist prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he had given his “full approval” for the meeting between Gantz and Abbas at the former’s home in Rosh Ha’ayin.
The meeting was met with strong reactions from Palestinians.
