GAZA (PIC)– Dr. Ismail Redwan the Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip on Monday denied that his Movement agreed with the Fatah faction on holding early elections in the event the unity government collapsed.
Redwan told PIC that the news report quoting Fatah MP Hatem Abdul Kader was not true and the agreement in Makkah only dealt with the formation of a unity government and no talk about early elections was mentioned.
“There is no need to talk about early elections in the light of the current prevailing positive and conciliatory atmospheres” Redwan underlined adding “All should have rather concentrated on boosting unity and the government’s positive role to enable it confront the siege”.
The Hamas spokesman said that the unity government would confront the siege and would preserve the national constants. He said that Hamas would never accept a government surrendering constants not even as a price for breaking the siege.
The world community should recognize the unity government particularly when it is representing the sweeping majority of Palestinian political spectrum Redwan concluded.
