 Fawzi Barhoum, spokesperson of the Hamas movement, slammed the meeting which took place on Monday between the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, and Israel’s Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, and described the meeting as a mockery and a cover-up to the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
Barhoum added that this meeting was held while the army is ongoing with its crimes and siege against the Gaza Strip. Barhoum also said that Abbas ignored the Palestinian cause and struggle and “joined the Zionist-American project”, and accused Abbas of receiving his orders from the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice. He added that Monday’s meeting between Olmert and Abbas was also meant to bar any possible talks between Hamas and Fateh movements , and that this meeting and all similar meetings, are part of an Israeli-American plan to eliminate the resistance, especially Hamas, and to oblige Abbas to make more commitments that only serve Israel. |
