AhlulBayt News Agency: Member of Hamas’s political bureau Basem Naim has said that “the next day following the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip will be a Palestinian day par excellence,” reiterating his Movement’s firm position in this regard.
In a statement on Monday, Naim affirmed that Hamas would never forsake the Palestinians in Gaza and would shoulder its responsibility towards them until their suffering comes to an end.
Naim pointed out that the Egyptian leadership is keen on forming a Palestinian leadership body to manage the affairs of the Gaza Strip after the war ends, adding that the Palestinian factions always welcomed the formation of this national body.
“We were hoping and striving to reach an agreement, under Egyptian sponsorship, with the Fatah Movement and other factions,” Naim said, stressing the importance of having a Palestinian national consensus in order to stop the Israeli aggression against Gaza.
Naim said that Fatah’s rejection of this agreement was shocking to all the Palestinian factions, expressing his belief that those who rejected the formation of a national body in Gaza seeks to impose the government of Mohamed Mustafa and obstruct the efforts to help the Palestinian people obtain their freedom and stop the aggression against them.
“The Israeli schemes in the occupied West Bank require from everyone to rise above partisan considerations and prioritize the national interest,” the Hamas official emphasized.
On Sunday, senior Fatah official Abdullah Abdullah announced his Movement’s rejection of the Egyptian proposal on the formation of a community committee to support the Gaza Strip, although the Fatah delegation to Cairo had welcomed the proposal at first.
The proposal was put forward by the Egyptian mediator during the intensive meetings that were held recently between Hamas and Fatah officials in Cairo.
