By Xinhua,
Gaza : An official in the Popular Front to Liberate Palestine (PFLP) Rabah Muhana has strongly slammed on Saturday the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) over the way it rules the Gaza Strip since mid June last year.
In a statement sent to the press, Muhana accused Hamas for taking exclusive possession and failing to achieve the political partnership with other political factions, aiming at imposing its Islamic ideology on the Gaza Strip.
In the meanwhile, Muhana accused President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority caretaker government in Ramallah for continuing the arrests and “playing with the democratic issues of the Palestinian society.”
The PFLP is the second faction among eight factions represented in the executive committee of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The left-wing group is also represented the Hamas-dominant Legislative Council (PLC).
The group has earlier received an official invitation from the Egyptian leadership to hold talks with senior Egyptian officials in Cairo on Wednesday to prepare for the comprehensive Palestinian dialogue.
“The Popular Front believes that strengthening the internal Palestinian front and achieving the national unity through a comprehensive and constructive dialogue is better that going for a fragile truce with Israel,” said Muhana.
He added that his group slammed both Hamas for cracking down on Fatah members and associations and President Abbas and held him responsible for the current inter-Palestinian division.
“There are lobbies, which are not interested in ending the current inter-crisis. The two lobbies, one is surrounding Abbas and the other is into Hamas, and both reinforce the internal division,” said Muhana.
