Head of the Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haneyya said during a speech he delivered on Monday that achieving Palestinian unity is the only way to foil the conspiracies aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.
On the convening of the Palestinian National Council (PNC) without national consensus Haneyya said that any PNC meeting that does not unite the Palestinians does not express the Palestinian will.
He continued to say that the Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas is attempting to gain fake legitimacy through the PNC meeting.
Haneyya doubted the aims behind Abbas’s insistence on holding the PNC meeting without Palestinian consensus suggesting that they have to do with the conspiracies being plotted against the Palestinian cause.
The Hamas official affirmed that the Palestine Liberation Organization is a home for all Palestinians. However he added if the Palestinian leadership continued to ignore the demands of the Palestinian people it would find itself in a pathway that is different from that of the Palestinians.
He underlined that the top priority now is to overturn the US deal of the century end security coordination between the PA and the Israeli occupation and hold immediate presidential and legislative elections.
In another context Haneyya hailed Gaza’s security services for unveiling the perpetrators behind the alleged attack on the convoy of the PA government’s premier Rami Hamdallah and the assassination attempt that targeted chief of Gaza’s security forces major general Tawfiq Abu Naim.
Haneyya pointed out that the press conference held recently by Gaza’s Interior Ministry on this issue was not intended to entrench the internal division but to uncover a dangerous conspiracy targeting Gaza and national reconciliation.
He explained that these attacks were exploited by Abbas to impose further punitive measures on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip create security chaos in the coastal enclave and foil the Great March of Return and anti-siege protests.
