| [Ma'an] The Fatah movement in Gaza called on Hamas to immediately sign the Egyptian proposal for reconciliation and to implement its provisions, party officials said on Tuesday. In a statement released to commemorate the fifth anniversary of death of President Yasser Arafat, the Fatah movement in Gaza stressed that national dialogue is the only means to restore Palestinian national unity, calling on Hamas to sign the Egyptian-sponsored reconciliation paper without delay. Fatah's statement assured of the party's adherence and commitment to the late leader's political approach and the work of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The party further asserted its dedication to the Palestinian national cause which calls for an end to Israeli occupation and the creation of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capitol, the return of Palestinian refugees and the release of all prisoners and detainees, underscoring that the movement considers political detention a crime against the Palestinian people. The statement released by Fatah continued to express condemnation for the recent change in the US' stance of alleviating pressure on Israel to halt settlement growth and construction, and further articulated support for the Palestinian leadership in refusing to conduct peace talks before a settlement halt is enforced. In addition, the movement stressed that President Mahmoud Abbas is considered Fatah's only candidate in the presidential elections and called on its members and institutions to rally around Abbas. Fatah finally called on Fatah members and supporters, and the Palestinian people to commemorate the death of late president Arafat and to memorialize him. |
