GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas on Sunday said that it was studying the suspension of its participation in the Cairo talks for internal Palestinian conciliation in the wake of the assassination of two of its armed wing's commanders in Qalqilia at the hands of PA security forces. Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil, one of the Hamas leaders in Gaza Strip, read out a statement for his Movement at a press conference said that Hamas was pondering the step in view of the escalating crimes against its cadres in the West Bank. He also said that Egypt should interfere and commit former PA chief and Fatah leader Mahmoud Ababs to end political detention and to release all political detainees. Hamas is currently revising its stance regarding the kidnappings in the West Bank in a bid to preserve the resistance's fighters lives, dignity and weapons, Bardawil said. He held Abbas and the premier of his illegitimate government Salam Fayyad prime responsibility for the crime for giving orders of prosecuting and liquidating resistance fighters to satisfy the "racist Zionist occupation government". For his part, Ali Baraka, the deputy representative of the Hamas Movement in Syria has asserted that the crime in Qalqilia will have "serious repercussions" on the dialog in Cairo. He told PIC that the crime will destroy the dialog and deepen the rift in the Palestinian arena. Baraka asked Palestinian factions participating in Abba's illegitimate government to quit or else they would be considered accomplices to that "brutal crime". The crime in Qalqilia is the first fruit of Abba's trip to Washington, the Hamas leader said, adding that Abbas was trying to market himself before the new American administration as the only one capable of signing any settlement agreement with Israel that includes preserving its security. He asked the administration of Barack Obama to recall its security coordination Gen. Keith Daytom from the West Bank and to immediately end intervention in Palestinian internal affairs. |
