Ramallah: Presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh Tuesday condemned Hamas’s insistence on dividing the Palestinian national position by opening lines of communication with foreign parties. He also denounced the movement for negotiating with such foreign parties without national authorization, contradicting the Palestinian law that criminalizes communication with foreign agencies.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the presidential spokesman emphasized the fact that Hamas’s contacts with foreign parties were exposed on the eve of the emergency Arab summit in Cairo, which culminated in an Arab consensus in support of the Palestinian cause, constitutes circumvention of the Arab summit resolutions. He affirmed that these contacts weaken not only the firm Arab position embodied in the summit resolutions, particularly the Egyptian-Palestinian plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, but also the efforts aimed at confronting the attempts to displace Palestinians from their homelan

The presidential spokesman called on Hamas to come back to national sanity, end the intra-Palestinian division, and hand over the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian National Authority, so that the Gaza Strip and the West Bank would be reunited under a single law, a single weapon, and a single legitimate political representation.
