The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, last night organized a march in the city of Qalqilia to celebrate the release from Zionist occupation jails of Sheikh Hasan Yousef, the Movement's West Bank spokesman. The march hit the city streets with dozens of masked men at the forefront who congratulated the Palestinian people via loudspeakers on the release of Sheikh Hasan.

The speakers affirmed that the question of Palestinian detainees in Zionist jails would remain a top priority and that the Movement would exert strenuous efforts to ensure their release. One of the Hamas leaders in the city told PIC correspondent that his Movement was adamant on persisting in the resistance march until ejection of occupation. He affirmed the importance of forming a unified national leadership grouping all forces and factions to represent the Palestinian people within and outside the occupied homeland. The one-sided decision-making ran contrary to the Palestinian people's interests, he elaborated, noting that a unified Palestinian stand based on resistance was the sole means to confront the Zionist premier Ariel Sharon. The Hamas official reiterated his Movement's insistence on holding simultaneous general elections grouping the presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections. He said that the Palestinian people were looking forward to the day when they got rid of corrupt leaders and revitalized Palestinian institutions in a way serving the Palestinian people's interests. |
