RAMALLAH (Dispatches) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party says he is strongly against the Hamas resistance movement’s stance on advancing a truce with the Zionist regime.
Fatah spokesman Osama Qawasmi said in a press statement that the truce between Hamas and the Zionist regime comes with a political price, describing Hamas' claims as "nonsense, lies and disinformation that cannot fool anyone."
"The price will be allowing the passage of the American-Zionist Deal of the Century, bashing the Palestine Liberation Organization, turning the division into separation, implementing Israeli schemes aimed at having total hold over Jerusalem and the West Bank, and blocking the possibility of an Israeli withdrawal from the land of the State of Palestine," he stressed.
At the same time, Qawasmi warned that this truce deal would be "a real threat to the Palestinian national identity."
Egypt and the UN are mediating a long-term cease-fire agreement between Hamas and the Zionist regime.
Last week, three delegations representing Hamas, the left-wing Palestinian parties and senior employees in various ministries in the Gaza Strip headed to Cairo to resume talks, reportedly focusing on the ceasefire deal and the resumption of the national reconciliation deal.
The Gaza Strip has been under a tight blockade by the occupying regime since Hamas took control of the territory in 2007.
The blockade has pushed Gaza's 2 million people deeper into poverty with an unprecedented unemployment rate.
In the past nine years, the Zionist regime has launched three major wars on the Gaza Strip that claimed lives of thousands of Palestinians.
