GAZA CITY (Anadolu) – Palestinian Hamas resistance movement on Friday criticized an upcoming meeting of Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Central Council, scheduled for Feb. 6, in Ramallah city. “There is no legitimacy for any meeting that is held unilaterally, far from national consensus and the majority of the powers that factions and major influential Palestinian components are absent from it,” Hamas said in a statement. The Central Council is a smaller assembly emanating from the National Council, the highest legislative body for Palestinians at home and abroad, and is affiliated with the PLO. Notably, the PLO does not include, so far, Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups.
