Abbas’s political goals go against the higher Palestinian interest


Hamas asks factions to denounce Abbas practices, refuses his election committee

[ 27/10/2009 - 03:04 PM ]


GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas has condemned the continued persecution of resistance supporters in the West Bank topped by those affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the part of Mahmoud Abbas's militias.

Dr. Ismail Radwan, one of Hamas's prominent political figures, said in a statement on Tuesday that the continued detention of those elements on the part of Ramallah authority led by Abbas, the illegitimate PA chief, falls in line with attempts to liquidate resistance in response to Zio-American orders.

Such practice points to Abbas and his Fatah faction's insincerity in reaching national reconciliation, he charged, adding that the Fatah-dominated Ramallah authority was insisting on serving a foreign agenda at the expense of the internal agenda.

Radwan said that the Ramallah authority's "criminal" campaign against those elements emboldened the Israeli occupation into allowing attacks on the Aqsa Mosque and the West Bank.

The Palestinian factions are called upon to say their word and to firmly stand against such "criminal practices" on the part of Abbas's militias, the Hamas leader underlined.

For his part, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas spokesman, told the PIC that the elections committee formed by Abbas was illegitimate.

He attributed his charge to the fact that the committee was formed by Abbas, whose term in office had expired last January, and thus any decision by him is considered null and void.

Abu Zuhri added that another reason for the committee's illegitimacy was the fact that the Palestinian factions agreed during the Cairo dialog that the committee should be formed through agreement by all factions and not unilaterally.

The spokesman said that the committee would not be allowed to perform any role in the Gaza Strip.

Abbas declared formation of this committee on Tuesday with a majority of Fatah members to prepare for his illegal decision to hold legislative and presidential elections on 24/1/2010.




Jawhari: Abbas’s political goals go against the higher Palestinian interest

[ 27/10/2009 - 11:41 AM ]


GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian political analyst Shaker Al-Jawhari stated Tuesday that the political interest which Mahmoud Abbas wants to achieve for himself through the elections conflicts with the higher Palestinian interest.

In a press statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC), Jawhari called on the Movement of Hamas and the other resistance factions to charge Abbas and his aides with high treason and to stop meeting with them.

The analyst underlined that if he were in Abbas’s shoes, he would have resigned a long time ago and abandoned the political arena, adding that Abbas is unable to say no to Israel or to the American administration.

He noted that the real reason that made Abbas call for elections was that he wants to force Hamas and the resistance factions to accept the amendments made to the Egyptian reconciliation paper.

In another context, Palestinian minister of justice Mohamed Al-Ghoul met on Monday with heads and representatives of human rights and legal organizations in the Gaza Strip and discussed with them the implications of Goldstone’s report on Israeli war crimes after its adoption in the UN human rights council.

The attendees agreed on the need to pool the efforts to bring Israeli war criminals to justice and improve human rights and public freedoms inside the Palestinian community.


Abu Halabiya: The PA must stop playing with the fate of Jerusalem

[ 27/10/2009 - 11:37 AM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- MP Ahmed Abu Halabiya, the acting head of the parliamentary Jerusalem committee, stated Monday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) must stop tampering with the fate of occupied Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque and end its frivolous negotiations with the Israeli occupation.

Abu Halabiya told a news conference held in Gaza that the PA negotiations encouraged the Israeli occupation to persist in its aggression on Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.

The lawmaker urged the Palestinian resistance factions to urgently move before it is too late and carry out operations in Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian land in retaliation to Israel’s violations against the Aqsa Mosque.

The lawmaker also called on the general secretaries of the Arab League and the organization of the Islamic conference to activate their role in the protection of the Aqsa Mosque against the Zionist threats.

For his part, Abdullah Abu Jarbou’a, the deputy head of the parliamentary Jerusalem committee, told Al-Alam satellite channel on Monday that the Judaization of Jerusalem and the war of sovereignty over it became the headlines of the conflict in the region at the present time.

Abu Jarbou’a criticized the Arab and Muslim silence towards Israel’s violations in Jerusalem, saying that this silence created the ground for the Israeli occupation to escalate and persist in its crimes.

He warned that Israel’s greed for Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque reached unprecedented levels, where it set conditions demanding the Palestinians to recognize the Jewish nature of its state and revealed its intentions to demolish the holy Mosque.
