GAZA, Palestine, April 14 (NNN-MA’AN) – The Islamic Hamas movement, ruler of the Gaza Strip, slammed the formation of a new Palestinian government, for deepening the internal division.
Khalil al-Hayya, deputy chief of Hamas and a member in Hamas’ politburo, said, the new government of Palestinian Prime Minister, Mohammed Ishtaye, “is very far from any Palestinian national accord or any legal measure.”
“We were hoping and will hope to go for a national unity government, that will be a salvation government that rescues the current national Palestinian status,” said al-Hayya in a press statement.
He also criticised the new Palestinian government as “a separatist government that doesn’t include all factions and political powers.”
“This government was made to empower the internal Palestinian division and again proves that there is no return to a real national unity,” the Hamas deputy chief concluded.– NNN-MA’AN
