Palestinian Authority FM says Hamas can’t be part of PA government for now
2024-02-29
[IsraelTimes] Riyad al-Maliki says technocratic administration needed to rush help to Gazans because unity with terror group will lead to boycotts, but leaves door open to future cooperation.
So it’s taqqiya, then.
Paleostinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said Wednesday he believes Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
understands why it should not be part of a new government in the Paleostinian territories.
They’re a sensible bunch, donchaknow. Always putting the cause before their own Muslim Brotherhood needs. Really.
Speaking a day before representatives of Hamas and the Fatah political faction dominating the PA were set to meet in Moscow for talks on forming a unified Paleostinian government, Maliki downplayed their chances for success and told a presser that a "technocratic" government was needed, without the Islamist terror group.

"The time now is not for a national coalition government," Maliki said.

"The time now is not for a government where Hamas will be part of it, because, in this case, then it will be boycotted by a number of countries, as happened before," he told the UN correspondents’ association.

"We don’t want to be in a situation like that. We want to be accepted and engaging fully with the international community," he explained.

On Monday, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh announced the resignation of his government, citing the need for change after the Israel-Hamas war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
ends.

A decree from PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
said the government will stay on in an interim capacity until a new one is formed.

Maliki said the priority was engaging the international community to help provide emergency relief to Paleostinians, and then looking at how Gaza could be reconstructed.
Give us all the moneys!

...boodling on the grand scale...
Human Rights Council, said he hoped Hamas support for the technocratic government would emerge from unity talks scheduled to take place on Thursday in Moscow, with unity unlikely.

"Of course, we don’t expect miracles to happen in just a simple meeting in Moscow, but I believe that the meeting in Moscow should be followed by other meetings in the region soon," he said.

Despite US backing for Israel’s goal of destroying Hamas, Maliki indicated that Fatah was still open to working together with the terror group.
How, when Hamas is going to be disbanded and killed off?
"Later, when the situation is right, then we could contemplate that option. But what comes first is how to salvage the situation. How to salvage innocent Paleostinian lives. How to stop this insane war and how to be able to protect Paleostinian people," he said.

"That’s why I think Hamas should understand this, and I do believe that they are in support of the idea to establish, today, a technocratic government."

"A government that is based on experts, individuals who are completely committed to take up the reins and the responsibility for this period — a difficult one — and to move the whole country into a period of transition into a stable kind of situation where, at the end, we might be able to think about elections... [that] will determine the type of government that will govern the state of Paleostine later."
