The Hamas leader Hassan Yousef affirmed that resistance is a right for the Palestinian people which will never be given up.
In a press statement on Saturday Yousef commented on the latest remarks of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on resistance weapons. He said that the problem is not only with Abbas’s repeated statements in this regard but also in Fatah Movement’s procrastination in lifting the punitive measures on Gaza.
The Hamas leader called on Palestinian factions to confront all of those who exert efforts for hindering the reconciliation. He invited the factions to convene for bringing the national issues to discussion and accelerating the formation of a national government. He also called for conducting general elections that would pave the way for reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization.
