CAIRO/GAZA: Palestinian rival factions Hamas and Fatah have reached a deal over political reconciliation, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said in a statement on Thursday without providing further details.
A Hamas official told Reuters that details are expected to be released at a noon news conference in Cairo, where unity talks between the rival factions began on Tuesday.
The Western-backed mainstream Fatah party lost control of Gaza to Hamas, considered a terrorist group by the West and Israel, in fighting in 2007. But last month Hamas agreed to cede powers in Gaza to President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah-backed government in a deal mediated by Egypt.
“Fatah and Hamas reached an agreement at dawn today upon a generous Egyptian sponsorship,” Haniyeh said in a statement.
Egypt has helped mediate several attempts to reconcile the two movements and form a power-sharing unity government in Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas and Fatah agreed in 2014 to form a national reconciliation government, but despite that deal, Hamas’s shadow government continued to rule the Gaza Strip.
Fighting is not an option in dealing with Israel. Israel is a ghost and a fake disputed creation even by Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Jews call Zionists as atheists. There is a serious flaw in Israel’s creation. Its founding father, David ben Gurion circumvent swearing oath of allegiance from God to a symbolic “Rock.” David even rebuked God, saying “God did not do enough for Jews to deserve this credit.” One suggestion is for Mahmoud Abbas to engage Israel in peace talks under the aeges of America as Jordan did. Let the Palestinians make peace in “fee sabeel lillah,” in sake of Allah. It will put Israel on the wrong side of God. Allah has warned Jews of His painful punishment unto the Day of Reckoning and He has instilled His fear in the Jews. Jews find everything wrong for them with God. For Palestinians, as for the whole Umma, Allah says, “I am enough for you,” There ios much more against Zionists that will immediately put them also on the wrong side of American Jesus-loving organisations “Born again Christians ” and “Promise Keepers.”
