Thursday 22-February-2007

TULKARM (PIC)– Nasseruddin Al-Shaer the PA deputy premier and education minister has urged all Palestinian factions and forces to join the national unity government.

He said that all should join hands in combating whoever attempts to re-ignite civil strife and infighting.

“We lost more than 100 of our young people over the past few weeks at the hands of our own people other than the disabilities wounds material losses international disgrace and the embarrassment to our people in the diaspora” he said describing what happened as a “scandal”.

The deputy premier who is also minister of higher education said that in Makkah the Palestine issue returned to its right track adding that bullets directed at Palestinians should be dealt with as “suspicious” and serving a foreign agenda.

He declared readiness along with his fellow ministers to willingly sacrifice their posts in favor of establishing a unity government.

Shaer was speaking Wednesday evening at a ceremony organized by Khadouri college after its transfer into a Polytechnic University as ordained by the PA council of ministers last week.

The deputy premier expressed pleasure at transferring the college into a university noting that Khaduri was established in 1930 long before the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and before the creation of the Hebrew state.

Meanwhile Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip said that Mustafa Al-Barghouthi the leader of the Palestinian national mubadara (initiative) would most likely join the unity government.

They noted that he held another consultative meeting with premier-designate Ismail Haneyya in the presence of a Hamas delegation.

Barghouthi said that the discussions completed earlier consultations on the formation of a strong government capable of alleviating suffering of the Palestinian people and confronting current challenges.
