The Hamas Movement has criticized US president Joe Biden’s talk about the Palestinian cause describing his remarks in this regard as “nothing but more bias in favor of the Israeli occupation and its account” and “persistence in selling peace illusions to the world.”
“It was clear that president Biden adopted the occupation’s narrative regarding the assassination of martyr Shireen Abu Akleh dealt with the issue in a cold manner and deliberately avoided any reference to the occupation army’s responsibility for the crime” Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasem stated on Friday.
“President Biden’s visit to Bethlehem and his meeting with the president of the Palestinian Authority (PA) was an attempt to embellish his trip and to help pave the way for more normalization steps between regional countries and the occupation state” spokesman Qasem said.
“It was strange for PA chief Mahmoud Abbas to announce that he still extends his hands for peace with and trusts the US mediation efforts after all the crimes that have been committed by the occupation state against our people and holy sites and after the US administration has reiterated its full support for the Zionist interests” the spokesman added.
The spokesman urged the PA leadership to stop selling peace illusions and side with its people’s options regarding their struggle against the occupation and their rejection of the US policy towards their national cause.
