| Hamas will not give in to Israeli demand: Haniyeh |
| 2014-09-06 |
| [Iran Press TV] The Paleostinian resistance movement, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, has rejected the Israeli regime's demand that the group get disarmed as a condition for removal of a seven-year-old blockade on the war-torn Gazoo Strip. Senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... said after the Friday's prayers that the Paleostinians' weapons and equipment were not up for negotiations, defending the right to resist against the occupying power. "We do not call for war, and we do not want war, but if the enemy wants it, we will fight back," said the Paleostinian leader. Later this month, Paleostinian and Israeli delegations are set to hold indirect talks in Egypt. Paleostinians have demanded the complete removal of the Israeli siege on the densely-populated sliver as part of any deal. Tel Aviv, on the other side, demands the disarmament of the Paleostinian group. Israel's recent war on Gazoo ended on August 26 by an Egyptian-brokered truce, which took effect after Cairo negotiations. The deal stipulates the ease of Israel's blockade as well as the provision of a guarantee that Paleostinian demands will be met. |
