Haneyya: Fatah's authority mortgaged itself to the US will

KHAN YOUNIS, (PIC)-- Ismael Haneyya, the Prime Minister of the Palestinian government in Gaza, said on Thursday that the US-sponsored direct negotiations between the Fatah authority in Ramallah and the Israeli occupation are futile and have no popular support, accusing Fatah of mortgaging itself to the US will.

"There is no legitimate, legal, popular, or national cover for any one who wants to tamper with the national interests of the Palestinian people", said Haneyya during a Ramadan charity breakfast organized by the charity foundations in Khan Younis city, south of Gaza Strip, in honor of the martyrs and captives families.

He added that the futile negotiations give the Israeli occupation the political cover it needs to continue its organized terrorism and crimes against the Palestinian people amid international silence towards those crimes.

He deprecated Fatah's insistence to go to direct negotiations without clear agenda, charging that Fatah has apparently surrendered itself to the US administration and will, and accepted to navigate far from the Palestinian people's option.

He pointed out that the Palestinian people were and still are rallying behind the Palestinian resistance and that they proved to be ready to protect and support it all the time, and that they, in general, reject the principle of negotiations with the Israeli occupation.

The prime minister also reiterated his government's political and ethical obligations to assist the Palestinian people with all possible means, especially families of the martyrs, captives, and the disabled.
