| 2015-01-06 |
| Hamas said Monday it was “totally opposed” to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ plans to re-submit to the UN Security Council a resolution on ending Israel’s occupation which failed. “Hamas is totally opposed to any return to the UN Security Council by the Palestinian Authority,” spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said. “Such a step would be political foolishness which plays a dangerous game with the destiny of our nation. “Mahmoud Abbas and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority should completely stop this political foolishness,” Abu Zuhri said. On Jan. 2, the Palestinian leadership decided to refile a draft resolution setting a deadline for reaching a final peace deal and ending the occupation. The draft had failed to pass a vote in the Security Council on Dec. 30. |
