Hamas blames Abbas for Palestinian disunity
GAZA CITY: Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, on Saturday rejected accusations by president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... that it is blocking Paleostinian reconciliation efforts with support from Iran. "The accusations made Abbas that Hamas receives Iranian instructions to block (inter-Paleostinian) reconciliation efforts are not true because it is he who is blocking the reconciliation," Hamas MP Yahiya Musa said. "Abu Mazen (Abbas) must be honest and tell his people about the messages he has received from Israel and American stopping him from working for reconciliation," he said in statements posted on Hamas's website Ressalah. On Friday Abbas said in an exclusive interview with AFP that Iran has ordered Hamas not to reconcile with its long-time foe and his secular party, Fatah. Until now Hamas has refused to say yes or no to the initiative to put an end to divisions, form a new government and prepare for elections. afp Posted by: trailing wife 2011-04-17 |
