Hamas has hailed political factions affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for their firm refusal to join the Fatah government line-up.
“The fact that senior PLO factions refused to strike political partnership with the Fatah government is a step in the right direction and a brave reaction to Fatah’s monolithic decision-making” Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri said in a tweet.
“Such a reaction is a proof that the Palestinians have no other choice but to combine forces in favor of national unity” he added.
A number of political factions most notably the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine announced their boycott of the new Fatah government line-up on account that Fatah’s agenda deepens national rifts.
