[Iran Press TV] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, has condemned any direct negotiations between the Paleostinian Authority (PA) and Israel, saying the talks will not bring Paleostinians peace but humiliation.
In a presser in the Syrian capital on Saturday, Hamas Political Bureau chief Khaled Meshaal said the US-sponsored talks would lead to a sell-off of Paleostinian rights, Rooters reported.
Meshaal pointed to the huge challenges the resistance is facing, especially in the West Bank, which is controlled by the rival Fatah party, and described the resistance to Israeli occupation as the only way to keep the Paleostinian cause alive.
"Our inalienable rights are threatened with extinction if the scene in the West Bank does not change by launching the resistance against the Israeli occupation and the settlements," he told news hounds in Damascus.
He also insisted that the Paleostinian people would never relinquish their legitimate right to their land.
"The Paleostinian people will not be bribed. They will not be cowed by Dayton's forces," he said, in a reference to PA forces trained by US Lieutenant General Keith Dayton.
"We are not talking about a business deal or making a profit. Our only capital is the land, identity and dignity," Meshaal stated.
"When there is such an imbalance of power, negotiations become a process of daily humiliation," he noted.
Hamas says all the territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six-Day War must be returned and all Paleostinian refugees must be granted the right to return to their homeland.
