Hamas cancels direct talks with Fatah because Fatah agrees to direct talks with Israel

IMEMC: Hamas: “Meeting with Fateh Leaders Delayed In Protest To Direct Talks With Israel”

Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, decided to put on hold a scheduled meeting with Fateh leaders in Gaza in protest to the decision of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee and the Fateh movement to resume direct talks with Israel.

The meeting was supposed to be held on Saturday evening in Gaza City. The Hamas movement said that the decision to resume talks with Israel was made by an “unconstitutional committee” and that Fateh might use this meeting to market or pass “its crime of talks with the occupation”.

Dr. Salah Al Bardaweel of Hamas, said that Fateh is providing concessions to the occupation and is violating the national Palestinian consensus that rejects talks with Israel, especially under the current circumstances and ongoing violations.

Dr. Bardaweel added that Hamas had initially agreed to the meeting despite Fateh’s ongoing arrests against Hamas members and supporters in the West Bank, and also accused the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank of obstructing official documents to Gaza residents, such as passports, payments for electricity in Gaza and other essential issues.

He further stated that the decision of Fateh movement to resume talks with Israel came amidst national rejection to this issue, and that this decision made it difficult to hold the meeting between the two movements.

THIS PROVES - ONCE AGAIN - THAT THE ARABS ARE TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL AND THAT ISRAEL HAS NO "PARTNER FOR PEACE" AND THAT THERE CAN BE NO MEANINGFUL "PEACE PROCESS". IT'S A SHAM.

• THE MIDDLE EAST WILL GET PEACE THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY: WHEN THE BAD GUYS SURRENDER UNCONDITIONALLY,

• AND THAT MEANS CHIEFLY DAMASCUS, BEIRUT AND TEHRAN -
  

• AND REGIME IN TEHRAN WILL CAUSE REGIME CHANGE IN THE OTHER TWO.

• IOW: DESTROYING THE TYRANNY IN TEHRAN WILL BRING PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST.

• AND THE SOONER THE BETTER.
