Hamas slams Arab vow to resume talks with Israel

[oberliner]

The Palestinian Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, has slammed the Arab League's foreign ministers' decision to submit to an American proposal for Palestinians to hold indirect talks with Israel.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Hamas emphasized that the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian talks under current conditions grants Israel another chance to resume its settlement activities, especially whilst the Tel Aviv regime is moving ahead with its illegal plans and blatant violations.

It added that the regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not interested in peace and does not want any solution to the Jerusalem Al-Quds issue or the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees.

Hamas also criticized the acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas for attempting to gain 'Arab recognition' for his talks with the Israeli regime while Tel Aviv continues its settlement activities and military assaults.

1. As ever...

'It added that the regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not interested in peace and does not want any solution to the Jerusalem Al-Quds issue'

Probably. But is Hamas interested in peace? Do they want a solution?

Of course, in a sense the hardline Israeli right, and Hamas DO want a peaceful solution - but on their terms only. Basically, the Israeli far right and Hamas would each like to have ALL of the land forever. Since this isn't going to happen, and certainly not peacefully, this attitude just means more and more quagmire.
