Spokesman of Hamas Movement in Gaza Strip, Dr. Ismail Redwan, on Saturday criticized calls by the PLO's executive committee of forming a PA government of technocrats, and considered PLO's threats as a "clear coup" against the democratic will of the Palestinian people.
He also warned that such threats will aggravate the internal rift in the Palestinian street, and could agitate tensions in the Palestinian arena. On Friday, the PLO's executive committee called Palestinian PM Ismail Haneyyeh, a Hamas leader, to stp down.
"The executive committee should have championed the language of dialogue instead of threatening the use of the PA chief's prerogatives which are limited to dissolving the government".
According to PIC, Redwan noted that the executive committee had not bothered itself to convene over the relentless Israel massacres and military aggressions in Gaza Strip and the West Bank that claimed lives of more than 400 Palestinians and wounded over 400 others since June this year.
"The Palestinian people thought that the PLO's executive committee met to stress on the national constants of the Palestinian people and their legal rights in their country, and to shrug off American and Israeli dictates; but, unfortunately, they let down the people ", Redwan underlined.
He explained that Fatah is to blame for the failure of the talks on unity government due to the "irrational conditions it was putting to join the coalition government", adding that Hamas has gone very far in ceding many of its privileges as the biggest bloc in the PLC "just for the sake of the Palestinian people".
