| Hamas calls for end to PA security coordination with Israel |
| 2014-04-10 |
| [MAANNEWS.NET] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, said on Wednesday that Paleostinians in the West Bank should "give full rein" to resistance against the Israeli occupation and end security cooperation with Israel. The moves comes hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered government officials to stop cooperation with Paleostinian officials as part of a round of sanctions on the PA as peace negotiations between the two sides stalled in recent days. Hamas front man Fawzi Barhoun said PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... should take advantage of Netanyahu's decision and end all aspects of security coordination with Israel. Abbas should let resistance "deter the Israeli occupation and defend our people, our land, and our holy places," Barhoun said in a statement. He said Abbas should end negotiations and recruit regional and international opposition to the occupation. The failure of the the peace talks so far proves that Hamas was correct in its view that negotiations with Israel only have a negative impact on the Paleostinian people, the statement said. Barhoun also urged Arab countries to support regional and international divestment from Israel. Netanyahu's decision to cut coordination with Paleostinian officials comes in response to the PLO's decision to apply to join 15 international conventions. Paleostinian officials say the decision to apply to the international conventions was in direct response to Israel's failure to release a fourth and final round of veteran prisoners as agreed. |
