Hamas ready to join PLO
 Hamas has reiterated its readiness to join the Palestine Liberation Organisation, which groups together all the major Palestinian factions.
| "Yeah, sure. We'll take it over..." |
Mahmud Zahar, one of the main leaders of the resistance group, said on Monday that disagreements over the PLO charter and the size of Hamas's representation in the council had delayed its incorporation. "Our decision to participate in the PLO is not new. It is a longstanding and clear decision," Zahar said after a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas in the Gaza City.
"All they gotta do is give us what we want."
"What do you want?"
"All of it." |
The Hamas leader said some progress has been made in minimizing disagreements. "A committee grouping the general secretaries of the Palestinian factions was set up to look at this issue and the results have opened the way to the entry of Hamas and other factions into the PLO," he said.
