On Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini called on all Palestinian groups to maintain unity and avoid civil strife.
Nine Palestinians were killed on Sunday in clashes between forces loyal to Hamas and those loyal to Fatah in the worst internal fighting in months over unpaid wages and stalled unity government talks. The spokesman said in a statement that civil conflicts will lead to the loss of spiritual and financial possessions of the Palestinians, benefiting only the Zionist regime. “Under the divine instructions and Islamic teachings the Palestinians should exercise vigilance and avoid inflaming conflicts especially out of deference to the holy month of Ramadan,” he added.
At this time, when innocent Palestinians are shot by the Zionist regime every day, any internal clash will weaken PalestineÂ’s position and help the occupiers achieve their destructive goals, he noted. Hosseini called on all Palestinians to maintain unity and redouble their efforts to strengthen resistance against Israel. The Palestinians should focus their efforts on fulfilling their main aspirations, breaking the occupation, and bringing the refugees home.
| Had the Paleostinians formed a government and attempted to begin functioning as a state last November they'd be a lot closer to "breaking the occupation and bringing the refugees home." Instead, they took the opportunity to experiment with anarchy as a system of government. |
